convert time GMT to UTC

I am trying to convert a time that I receive with GMT time but I render details by time format using strptime.

from datetime import tzinfo, timedelta, datetime

ZERO = timedelta(0)

class FixedOffset(tzinfo):
    """Fixed UTC offset: `local = utc + offset`."""

    def __init__(self, offset, name):
        self.__offset = timedelta(hours=offset)
        self.__name = name

    def utcoffset(self, dt):
        return self.__offset

    def tzname(self, dt):
        return self.__name

    def dst(self, dt):
        return ZERO

utc = FixedOffset(0, "UTC")

The following code shows the data that I want to convert.

Time = ("14:50:21.000 GMT Fri Apr 29 2022")
dt = datetime.strptime(Time , "%H:%M:%% GMT %% %% %% %%")
aware = dt.replace(tzinfo=FixedOffset(5, "GMT 0"))
print(aware)                 
print(aware.astimezone(utc))

Return the message

ValueError: time data '14:50:21.000 GMT Fri Apr 29 2022' does not match format '%H:%M:%% GMT %% %% %% %%'

Method 1

%% is used for the % character witch is not in your source time format try this format

dt = datetime.strptime(Time , "%H:%M:%S GMT %a %b %d %Y")

or

dt = datetime.strptime(Time , "%H:%M:%S %Z %a %b %d %Y")

you can read more here on how the format argument is formulated
