from datetime import datetime
from dateutil.tz import tzutc, tzlocal

utc = datetime.now(tzutc())
print('UTC:   ' + str(utc))

local = utc.astimezone(tzlocal())
print('Local: ' + str(local))

dateutil.tz.tzlocal may fail. Use localtz.get_localzone() instead. See how to get tz_info object corresponding to current timezone?.
