getKST

A Python package that returns datetime values ​​for the Asia/Seoul region.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python (>=3.9)

Install via pip

pip install getKST

Install via uv

uv add getKST

Usage

Note: Default format of getKST is %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S as a string.

getKST() always converts to Asia/Seoul time internally before formatting, so the result is identical no matter what timezone the host machine or server is set to (UTC, EST, JST, etc.).

• Basic Usage

  from getKST import getKST
  
  now = getKST()
  print(now)

• Using other formats

  from getKST import getKST
  
  now = getKST("%Y/%m/%d")  # Year/Month/Date
  now = getKST("%H-%M-%S")  # Hour-Minute-Second

• Converting an existing datetime

  from datetime import datetime, timezone
  from getKST import getKST
  
  utc_now = datetime.now(tz=timezone.utc)
  print(getKST(dt=utc_now))

All Python datetime formats are supported.
