Python Arrow Module: get the current UTC datetime, local datetime and datetime of a given location using arrow module

Arrow Module: Exercise-1 with Solution

Write a Python program to get the current UTC datetime, local datetime and datetime of a given location using arrow module.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import arrow
a = arrow.utcnow()
print("Current datetime:")
print(a)
print("\nCurrent local datetime:")
b = arrow.now()
print(b)
print("\nSpecified local datetime (US/Mountain):")
c = arrow.now('US/Mountain')
print(c)

Sample Output:

Current datetime:
2019-06-04T06:40:36.294600+00:00

Current local datetime:
2019-06-04T12:10:36.295600+05:30

Specified local datetime (US/Mountain):
2019-06-04T00:40:36.295600-06:00

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
