title: Python - datetime of a specific timezone
body: <p>I am having the hardest time trying to get the current time in EDT timezone.</p>
  
  <pre><code>print datetime.time(datetime.now()).strftime("%H%M%S")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>datetime.now([tz]) has an optional tz argument, but it has to be of type datetime.tzinfo... I have not ben able to figure out how to define a tzinfo object for Eastern timezone... Seems like it should be pretty simple, but I cant figure it out without importing an additional library.</p>
