Localize a datetime Object¶
In [2]:
t = datetime.now()

Convert a datetime Object to Another Timezone¶
Notice that you cannot call the method astimezone on a naive datetime (without timezone) before Python 3.6.
You have to localize it with timezone first.
Things become easier in Python 3.6.
In [24]:
pst = pytz.timezone("America/Los_Angeles")

In [25]:
t2.astimezone(pst)

Timestamp to datetime with Timezone¶

from datetime import datetime
time = os.path.getmtime("./timezone.ipynb")
dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(time, pytz.timezone("America/Los_Angeles"))
Format a datetime Object with Timezone¶
In [4]:
dt.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z")
