Python Timezone Conversion Example Using pytz

Tuesday, May 13 2008 12:11 a.m.

Here's an example showing how to convert from one timezone to another in Python. Note that you won't be able to save the full date/time in MySQL without stripping out the timezone info.


from string import atoi

from datetime import datetime

import pytz # Available http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=79122



thedate = "20080518"

thetime = "2210"



europe_tz = pytz.timezone('Europe/Paris') # Note that your local install timezone should be settings.py

brazil_tz = pytz.timezone('America/Sao_Paulo')

server_tz = pytz.timezone('America/Los_Angeles')



stat_time = datetime(atoi(thedate[0:4]), atoi(thedate[4:6]), atoi(thedate[6:8]), atoi(thetime[0:2]), atoi(thetime[2:4]), 0, tzinfo=europe_tz)



stat_time.astimezone(brazil_tz) # returns time for brazil

stat_time.astimezone(server_tz) # returns server time

programming, python
