How to convert a datetime with time zone to the UTC time in python

Question

I've used dateutil to convert the string 'Wed, 19 Dec 2012 01:34:52 -0800' to date time datetime.datetime(2012, 12, 19, 1, 34, 52, tzinfo=tzoffset(None, -28800)). How can I convert it to UTD+0 datetime.datetime(2012, 12, 19, 9, 34, 52) ?

Answer 1

Use the .astimezone() method:

dt.astimezone(pytz.UTC)
