To convert the current time to the time zone of India (Indian Standard Time - IST), you can use the pytz library in Python. First, you need to install the pytz library if you haven’t already. You can install it using pip:

pip install pytz

import datetime
import pytz

# Get the current time in UTC
current_time_utc = datetime.datetime.utcnow()

# Define the time zone for India (IST)
india_timezone = pytz.timezone('Asia/Kolkata')

# Convert the current time from UTC to IST
current_time_india = current_time_utc.astimezone(india_timezone)

# Format the time as per your requirement
current_time_str = current_time_india.strftime("%H:%M:%S")

print("The Current Time in India (IST) is: " + current_time_str)

Make sure to import the required libraries and use the astimezone() method from the pytz library to convert the time from UTC to the desired time zone (Asia/Kolkata for IST in this case).

Note that it’s important to handle the time zone correctly when dealing with time conversions to avoid any ambiguity or incorrect results. Using the pytz library ensures that the time zone offset is correctly applied.

To convert time to the Indian Standard Time (IST) in Python, you can use the pytz library, which allows you to work with time zones easily. First, you need to install the pytz library if you haven’t already. You can install it using pip:
#code
pip install pytz
Then, you can use the following code to convert a given time to the Indian Standard Time:

import datetime
import pytz

def convert_to_ist(utc_time):
# Define the time zone you want to convert to (Indian Standard Time)
ist_tz = pytz.timezone(‘Asia/Kolkata’)

# Convert the input time to a datetime object with the UTC time zone
utc_time = datetime.datetime.strptime(utc_time, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
utc_time = pytz.utc.localize(utc_time)

# Convert the time to Indian Standard Time (IST)
ist_time = utc_time.astimezone(ist_tz)

return ist_time
