[Date_Time] Espanso trigger to output time and date in another timezone. Requires Python and its pytz library. Somewhat redundant from Espanso v2.3.0. #espanso #python

date_time.yml

# Espanso trigger to output time and date in another timezone
# Requires Python and its pytz library

matches:
  - trigger: :tzdate
    replace: '{{output}}'
    vars:
      - name: zones
        type: script
        params:
          args:
            - python

            - |

        type: form
        params:
          layout: 'Pick a time-zone: [[zone]]'

              import pytz; from datetime import datetime
              timezone = pytz.timezone('{{zone_choice.zone}}')
              # Get the current date and time in UTC
              utc_now = datetime.utcnow().replace(tzinfo=pytz.utc)
              # Convert UTC time to the specified timezone
              local_time = utc_now.astimezone(timezone)
              print("Current date and time in", timezone, "is:", local_time.strftime('%F %T'))

i did the same 😆 ... it's just way faster with the internal data type, and not as wasteful ...

# this IS discouraged, yet this is not a web app, this is a one-shot tool.

    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, ".".join(locale.getlocale()))

works here.
