How to get time in specific timezone in telethon event handler

Question

I am using the telethon library to making telegram bots. when I using event.date it was printing the time on +00.00 time zone. How can I print time on specific timezone

maybe you should use standard module `datetime` to convert it to other timezone? — furas, Feb 09 '21 at 23:42

See python - Convert UTC datetime string to local datetime. Stealing the top answer which uses python-dateutil:

from dateutil import tz
local_datetime = event.date.astimezone(tz.tzlocal())
