Convert datetime from PDT to UTC in python

I have an object of <class 'datetime.datetime'>.

obj = datetime.datetime(2021, 6, 28, 2, 15, tzinfo=<FixedOffset '-07:00'>)

The time zone is PDT(offset -7:00). I need to convert it to UTC.

So if the object has datetime as 2021-05-02 10:00:00.000 -07:00. It should be changed to 2021-05-02 17:00:00.000 +00:00.

How to achieve this in python?

Try the following, using .astimezone():

>>> import datetime
>>> obj = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> obj
datetime.datetime(2021, 7, 19, 13, 18, 26, 601212)
>>> obj.astimezone(tz=datetime.timezone.utc)
datetime.datetime(2021, 7, 19, 17, 18, 26, 601212, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)

use time delta

bj = dt.datetime(2021,6,28,10,0)+dt.timedelta(hours=7)
pd.to_datetime(bj)
