Convert CST to UTC
How can I convert the CST to UTC by this code?
str(datetime.datetime.utcnow().strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")) + "Z"
This is the predefined and my UI is in CST and API want to be in UTC. So, how can I convert CST to UTC using same code?

One comment upfront: if you are actually using datetime.datetime.utcnow(), you don't need to do any conversion. That is the UTC time, though it is technically a naive datetime because it does not have a .tzinfo attribute attached. (And you also don't need to call str.)
Otherwise, assuming that your input time is actually local-based (does not use .utcnow()), you can use time.timezone to get a timedelta. Here is an example from my system, which is EST:
>>> import datetime
>>> import time
>>> localtime = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> localtime
datetime.datetime(2018, 11, 13, 13, 22, 54, 109529)
>>> datetime.datetime.utcnow()
datetime.datetime(2018, 11, 13, 18, 23, 3, 373213)
>>> convrt = localtime + datetime.timedelta(
... seconds=time.timezone)
>>>
>>> convrt
datetime.datetime(2018, 11, 13, 18, 22, 54, 109529)
>>> convrt.replace(tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc).isoformat()
'2018-11-13T18:22:54.109529+00:00'
Notice that .isoformat() uses the numeric offset. To get the name, use %Z:
>>> convrt.replace(tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc).strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%Z")
'2018-11-13T18:22:54UTC'
time.timezone is an offset of the local (non-DST) timezone, in seconds west of UTC. There's also time.altzone, which is offset of the local DST timezone (seconds west).

That's a good solution but I can't write my scripts in the python file. I've to use existed code. That is like I posted in the Question. I've to change only the code by adding the something like this: str(datetime.datetime.utcnow().strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")[-3]) + "Z"
