Hey @AKPWZ
@binuacs is right - unix epoch times are just the number of seconds since a defined starting point, so you can do this with basic date-add of seconds.
However - I would not recommend doing regular old addition of a fixed time difference to change timezones - because from one week to the next the timezone difference between GMT; EST; IST changes (daylight savings etc).
So for this - I'd lean on a Python library to make sure you get this right. Which python library I hear you ask - well I asked Chat GPT:https://chat.openai.com
Question: python to change timezone on a date-time to various other timezones - e.g. from GMT to IST; or GMT to EST
Answer:
To change the timezone of a datetime object in Python, you can use the `pytz` library. Here's an example of how to convert a datetime from one timezone to another:
```python
from datetime import datetime
import pytz
# Create a datetime object with the original timezone
original_datetime = datetime.now(pytz.timezone('GMT'))
# Convert the datetime to another timezone
new_timezone = pytz.timezone('IST') # Replace 'IST' with your desired timezone
converted_datetime = original_datetime.astimezone(new_timezone)
# Print the converted datetime
print(converted_datetime)
```
In the example above, the original datetime is created using the GMT timezone. You can replace `'GMT'` with any other valid timezone name, such as `'EST'` for Eastern Standard Time. Similarly, you can replace `'IST'` with the desired timezone, such as `'EST'` for Eastern Standard Time or any other timezone supported by the `pytz` library.
Note: Make sure you have the `pytz` library installed. You can install it using `pip install pytz`.
