How to convert datetime.date.today() to UTC time?

Question:

How to make sure the datetime.date.today() is converted to UTC time?

This is my code so far:

#today : 2014-12-21
today = datetime.date.today()

#1900-01-01 16:00:00+00:00
timeformat = datetime.datetime.strptime('16:00', '%H:%M').replace(tzinfo=pytz.utc)

#combine today and timeformat  2014-12-21 16:00:00
now = datetime.datetime.combine(u, timeformat.time())
str_now =  now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

Answers:

for printing date with time you can use …

tomorrow =  twtomorrow.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

instead of

tomorrow =  twtomorrow.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")

Use utcnow:

today = datetime.datetime.utcnow().date()
