    Hello,

    How can I convert a date, usually datetime.now(), into a format where
    the timezone is in hours:minutes format. I was able to get that format
    in shell:

    $ date +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%:z
    2024-06-18T19:24:09-04:00

    The closest I got in python is

    from datetime import datetime
    from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo

    s = datetime.strftime(datetime.now(ZoneInfo("America/New_York")), "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z")
    print(s)

    This prints the same as the shell command above except the last column: 2024-06-18T19:28:56-0400

    Any help will be appreciated.

    datetime.now(ZoneInfo("America/New_York")).isoformat()

    Starting from Python 3.12, you can use "%:z" in the format string. For
    earlier versions of Python, you need to do some string slicing.
