Dealing with Timezones in Python

Re:Dealing with Timezones in Python by wulczer on Friday July 15, 2011 @12:20PM (#2767981)

Use pytz.

  import pytz
  from datetime import datetime

  tz = pytz.timezone('Asia/Shanghai')
  tz.normalize(pytz.utc.localize(datetime.utcnow()).astimezone(tz))

Thanks for the response! I'm looking for a solution such that Python will go and load system's time zone and use that---it's a nightmare to deploy an app to multiple severs located in different timezone and I have to change the timezone in Python manually.
