timezones

[Jaap van Wingerde]

The blog of Paul Gansele [1] made me trying an other approach.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf_8 -*-
### tested with python3.5
from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone
from dateutil import tz
amsterdam = tz.gettz('Europe/Amsterdam')
utc = tz.gettz('utc')
amsterdam_datetime = datetime(2018, 12, 17, 11, 31, 26,
tzinfo=amsterdam) print(amsterdam_datetime)
tuple = amsterdam_datetime.utctimetuple()
utc_datetime = datetime(tuple[0], tuple[1], tuple[2], tuple[3],
tuple[4], tuple[5]) print(utc_datetime)
amsterdam_datetime = datetime(2018, 6, 17, 11, 31, 26, tzinfo=amsterdam)
print(amsterdam_datetime)
tuple = amsterdam_datetime.utctimetuple()
utc_datetime = datetime(tuple[0], tuple[1], tuple[2], tuple[3],
tuple[4], tuple[5]) print(utc_datetime)

Output:
2018-12-17 11:31:26+01:00
2018-12-17 10:31:26
2018-06-17 11:31:26+02:00
2018-06-17 09:31:26
