I need to get the local timezone offset in hours.

eg: 0530 is my UTC offset. How can I print this in python

>>>print (datetime.datetime.now()) 
>>>2017-04-20 10:33:49.272839

This is in my local time zone. Which is +0530 UTC. So I need to print (or get) +0530

Do you mean actually just printing out "0530" in the proper format, or computing your timezone? – m0dem Apr 20 '17 at 04:58
can you give an example of your input and desired output? – Allen Qin Apr 20 '17 at 04:59
