get current date regardless of system date in python [duplicate]

Question

I am trying to get the current date by below python code

from datetime import date
currentdate = date.today()

This returns me the system date, so if I try to change the system date it returns the current date based on that. But I want to get the current date regardless of system date so that if we change the system date as well it should return me the current date. How can I achive this in python?

are you talking about time based on your timezone kinda thing? — Ghost Ops

You should get current time from outer source, like

r = requests.get('http://worldclockapi.com/api/json/utc/now').json()
print(r['currentDateTime']);

then you have no outer source, and only thing you can use is system time — UTC or Local
