know GMT difference

Question

I have following code

ktm = timezone('Asia/Katmandu')

If I want to know zone of ktm, I can do like

ktm.zone

I know, Kathmandu is GMP+5:45. Is there any way to get this difference in pytz.

Thanks

Answer 1

import pytz
import datetime as dt
ktm = pytz.timezone('Asia/Katmandu')
utc = pytz.utc
now = dt.datetime.now()

now_utc = utc.localize(now)
now_ktm = now_utc.astimezone(ktm)

diff = now_ktm.replace(tzinfo=None) - now_utc.replace(tzinfo=None) 
print(diff)
5:45:00

There is also:

print(now_ktm.strftime('%z'))
# +0545

though this gives the difference as a string.
