How to convert local time string to UTC?

Question

How do I convert a datetime string in local time to a string in UTC time?

I\'m sure I\'ve done this before, but can\'t find it and SO will hopefull

Answer 1

In python 3.9.0, after you've parsed your local time local_time into datetime.datetime object, just use local_time.astimezone(datetime.timezone.utc).
