How can I get Python to display the time in eastern?
I've looked over the python documentation but it's pretty confusing. I'm using Python 3.

If for some reason you can't use pytz module and need simple solution then you can use
from datetime import datetime, timezone
datetime.now(timezone(timedelta(hours=-5), 'EST'))
If you need the entire timestamp:
import datetime
print (datetime.datetime.utcnow() - datetime.timedelta(hours=4))
If you just need the date in YYYYmmdd format
print (datetime.datetime.utcnow() - datetime.timedelta(hours=4)).strftime('%Y%m%d')
