Python: how to get present date of a particular timezone more efficiently
0
I solve this task by this following code. But is there any other way that is more efficient? More specifically I want to do this same job without using the datetime.datetime.now() method. I need the only date, not the whole datetime.
import pytz, datetime
print(datetime.datetime.now(pytz.timezone('US/Pacific')).date())
python datetime timezone

dateobviously has atimezone. As an example- now in Bangladesh the date is 19-11-2018, but in USA the date is 20-11-2018. Actuality I had built a django app and host it in an US server. I want to work with my local date but the app is working with the US date.

A date by itself does not have a time zone. It's only when you apply a time that time zones come into play. If you ask what date it is "now", then that is applying the current time and a time zone - either a specific or implied. Consider if I just had a printed paper calendar, like those they sell to hang on your wall every year showing the days of the month of a particular year. There are no time zones involved in making that calendar. It's only when one looks at it and points to a particular square and calls it "today" that that person's local time zone comes into play.
