How do parse a time with changing timezones

Question

I need to parse the following time:

 mytime = "11:32  PM LT"
 datetime.strptime(mytime,  '%H:%M %p LT')

But sometimes "11:32 PM LT" is a GMT time like for example "18:32 PM GMT". How do I parse that correctly so both time types are taken into consideration?

if you can put timezone as an offset then you use %z as datetime.strptime(mytime, '%H:%M %p %z') — vk-code, Jun 26 '19 at 18:49

Please try the dateutil package.

parse('11:32  PM GMT')
datetime.datetime(2019, 6, 26, 23, 32, tzinfo=tzutc())
