UTC Clock for iTerm2 Status Bar

iterm2_utc_clock.py

# iTerm2's Status Bar can show a clock, but the time is in my local timezone
# This script will create a second clock to display UTC on the iTerm2 Status Bar
# Add this to .config/iterm2/AppSupport/Scripts/AutoLaunch/utc_clock.py,
# restart iTerm & add to Preferences > Profiles > Session > Configure Status Bar
