Other Datetime Methods
Congratulations on completing the tutorial on datetime in Python! You've worked hard to learn a valuable skill, and you should be proud of yourself. These are some functions that may be useful to you in the future:
-
To convert a datetime object to a different time zone using the
astimezonemethod in Python, you will need to import thedatetimeandpytzmodules. Thepytzmodule provides access to the time zones defined in the IANA time zone database, a comprehensive database of time zones used worldwide; -
The
timestamp()function is a method of the datetime class in Python'sdatetimemodule. It returns the timestamp for the datetime object it is called on in the format of a float representing the number of seconds since the Unix epoch (00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970).
Swipe to start coding
- Import the
datetimelibrary and thepytzlibrary; - Create two
dtobjects in the Eastern Time zone and the Pacific Time zone (already done); - Use the
timestamp()method ofdt_ptto get the number of seconds since the Unix epoch.
