How to remove timezone information from DateTime object in Python

How to remove timezone information from DateTime object in Python

To remove the timezone information from a datetime object in Python, you can use the replace() method provided by the datetime module.

Here's how you can do this:

from datetime import datetime, timezone # Create a timezone-aware datetime object dt = datetime.now(timezone.utc) print(dt) # Example: 2022-01-01 12:00:00+00:00 # Remove the timezone information dt_naive = dt.replace(tzinfo=None) print(dt_naive) # Example: 2022-01-01 12:00:00

In this code:

  • A timezone-aware datetime object dt is created using datetime.now(timezone.utc).
  • The replace(tzinfo=None) method is used to remove the timezone information, creating a timezone-naive datetime object dt_naive.

Note that this process doesn't change the actual timestamp (i.e., the point in time the datetime object represents); it only removes the associated timezone information. If you want to convert the datetime to another timezone before removing the timezone info, use the astimezone() method.
