Get Any Country Date And Time Using Python

Here, in this post, we will see how can we Get Any Country Date And Time Using Python which will be something like a World clock using Python. For this, we need the datetime module and python’s timezone module i.e. pytz.

Before we proceed further, let’s see the video for more detailed and easy explanation–

To install pytz python, type the below command in your terminal–

pip install pytz

We can print the names of all countries whose timezone is available using this module using the following code–

Example

import pytz
time_zones = pytz.all_timezones
print(time_zones)

Output

['Africa/Abidjan', 'Africa/Accra', 'Africa/Addis_Ababa', 'Africa/Algiers',........ 'W-SU', 'WET', 'Zulu']

To print the date and time of any country, we need to use both modules i.e. datetime and pytz.

Here is the code to print the date and time of any country–

Example

from datetime import datetime
import pytz
country_time_zone = pytz.timezone('America/New_York')
country_time = datetime.now(country_time_zone)
print(country_time.strftime("Date is %d-%m-%y and time is %H:%M:%S"))

Output

Date is 23-09-20 and time is 00:39:26

In the similar way, we can print the date and time of any number of countries. To do this, we can create the list of desired countries for which we want to get current date and time and can use for loop to print all date and time of all the desired countries.

Now, let’s see the code to Get Any Country Date And Time Using Python–

from datetime import datetime
import pytz
# list of desired countries
Country_Zones = ['America/New_York', 'Asia/Kolkata', 'Australia/Sydney',
                'Canada/Atlantic', 'Brazil/East','Chile/EasterIsland', 'Cuba', 'Egypt',
                'Europe/Amsterdam', 'Europe/Athens', 'Europe/Berlin', 'Europe/Istanbul',
                'Europe/Jersey', 'Europe/London', 'Europe/Moscow', 'Europe/Paris', 
                'Europe/Rome', 'Hongkong', 'Iceland', 'Indian/Maldives', 'Iran',
                'Israel', 'Japan', 'NZ', 'US/Alaska', 'US/Arizona', 'US/Central', 
                'US/East-Indiana']
country_time_zones = []
for country_time_zone in Country_Zones:
    country_time_zones.append(pytz.timezone(country_time_zone))
for i in range(len(country_time_zones)):
    country_time = datetime.now(country_time_zones[i])
    print(f"The date of {Country_Zones[i]} is {country_time.strftime('%d-%m-%y')} and The time of {Country_Zones[i]} is {country_time.strftime('%H:%M:%S')}")

Output

The date of America/New_York is 23-09-20 and The time of America/New_York is 00:46:13
