I want to compare UTC timestamps from a log file with local timestamps. When creating the local datetime
object, I use something like:
>>> local_time=datetime.datetime(2010, 4, 27, 12, 0, 0, 0,
tzinfo=pytz.timezone('Israel'))
I want to find an automatic tool that would replace thetzinfo=pytz.timezone('Israel')
with the current local time zone.
Any ideas?
In Python 3.x, local timezone can be figured out like this:
import datetime
LOCAL_TIMEZONE = datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc).astimezone().tzinfo
It's a tricky use of datetime
's code .
For python >= 3.6, you'll need
import datetime
LOCAL_TIMEZONE = datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(0))).astimezone().tzinfo
