How to convert Z hour/minute to time zones

[DaveJ83]

I am using a file from NHC that has a column HHMM that is in Z time. How can I convert that to central time, eastern time, etc?
Thanks.

As of Python 3.9, there's a zoneinfo module for timezones:

from datetime import datetime, UTC
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo

t_str = '1546'

# Parse, then replace the date as well as specify that the timezone is UTC
dt = datetime.strptime(t_str, '%H%M').replace(year=2024, month=7, day=11, tzinfo=UTC)

# Get the UTC time as EDT
dt.astimezone(ZoneInfo('America/New_York'))

gives:
datetime.datetime(2024, 7, 11, 11, 46, tzinfo=zoneinfo.ZoneInfo(key='America/New_York'))
