I have the following datetime, and I converted to datetime object.

How do I convert it to say GMT+7 timezone?

date = "2020-07-27T16:38:20Z"

curr = datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z")
print(curr)

If converting to a timezone will work for you then you can convert it like this:

import datetime as dt
from pytz import timezone

date = "2020-07-27T16:38:20Z"

curr = (
    dt.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z")
    .astimezone(timezone('US/Pacific'))
)
print(curr)

OUTPUT:
2020-07-27 09:38:20-07:00

You can list the available timezones like this:

from pytz import all_timezones

for tz in all_timezones:
    print(tz)

    `pytz` is [to be deprecated](https://pypi.org/project/pytz-deprecation-shim/), use `dateutil` instead, or `zoneinfo` with Python 3.9. – FObersteiner Jul 28 '20 at 06:02

You can use this code here:

import pytz

date = datetime(2020, 7, 27, 16, 38, 20)
local_time_zone = pytz.timezone('GMT+0')

Or you can get your local time zone

# from tzlocal import get_localzone
# local_time_zone = get_localzone()


def utc_to_local(date):
    local_date = date.replace(tzinfo=pytz.utc).astimezone(local_time_zone)
    return local_time_zone.normalize(local_date)


print(utc_to_local(date).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f %Z%z'))
print(utc_to_local(datetime.utcnow()).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f %Z%z'))

The output will be like this:

2020-07-27 16:38:20.000000 GMT+0000
2020-07-28 13:31:23.219703 GMT+0000
