I need to import a bunch of data into our database for which there's a
single entry each day which occurs at the same time every day in local
time - so I need to convert this to UTC taking into account local
daylight savings. However daylight savings just don't seem to be
working at all...
Python 2.3.5 (#2, May 4 2005, 08:51:39)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-12)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information. from pytz import timezone from datetime import datetime t=timezone("Eur ope/Paris") utc=timezone("U TC") d=datetime(2005 ,01,24,16,59,tz info=t) d
datetime.dateti me(2005, 1, 24, 16, 59, tzinfo=<DstTzIn fo
'Europe/Paris' WET0:00:00 STD>) d.astimezone(ut c)
datetime.dateti me(2005, 1, 24, 16, 59, tzinfo=<StaticT zInfo 'UTC'>) d2=datetime(200 5,06,01,16,59,t zinfo=t) d2
datetime.dateti me(2005, 6, 1, 16, 59, tzinfo=<DstTzIn fo 'Europe/Paris'
WET0:00:00 STD>) d2.astimezone(u tc)
datetime.dateti me(2005, 6, 1, 16, 59, tzinfo=<StaticT zInfo 'UTC'>)
One of these should be in DST, the other shouldn't, I'm not sure why.
Additional oddness here
d.astimezone(ut c).astimezone(t )
datetime.dateti me(2005, 1, 24, 18, 59, tzinfo=<DstTzIn fo
'Europe/Paris' CEST+2:00:00 DST>) d2.astimezone(u tc).astimezone( t)
datetime.dateti me(2005, 6, 1, 17, 59, tzinfo=<DstTzIn fo 'Europe/Paris'
CET+1:00:00 STD>)
I'm not sure if it's just something I'm doing completely wrong here...

When working with timezones datetime objects are represented in the
tzinfo object you supply, eg. when you define these classes (and run
them on a system set to Paris time):
from datetime import tzinfo, timedelta, datetime
import time
class UTC(tzinfo):
"""UTC timezone"""
def utcoffset(self, dt):
return timedelta(0)
def tzname(self, dt):
return "UTC"
def dst(self, dt):
return timedelta(0)
class CET(tzinfo):
"""CET timezone"""
def utcoffset(self, dt):
return timedelta(secon ds = -time.timezone)
def dst(self, dt):
return timedelta(0)
def tzname(self, dt):
return "CET"
class CEST(tzinfo):
"""CET timezone with DST"""
def utcoffset(self, dt):
return timedelta(secon ds = -time.altzone)
def dst(self, dt):
return timedelta(secon ds = -time.altzone) - \
timedelta(secon ds = -time.timezone)
def tzname(self, dt):
return "CEST"
And you create these objects:
utc = UTC()
cet = CET()
cest = CEST()
d = datetime(2005,0 6,01,16,59,tzin fo=utc)
This statement
print 'UTC %s' % d
Will print:
UTC 2005-06-01 16:59:00+00:00
And this one:
print 'As CET %s' % d.astimezone(ce t)
Will print:
As CET 2005-06-01 17:59:00+01:00
And this one:
print 'As CET with DST %s' % d.astimezone(ce st)
Will print:
As CET with DST 2005-06-01 18:59:00+02:00
Additional:
This:
d = datetime(2005,0 6,01,16,59,tzin fo=cet)
print cet, d
Will print:
<__main__.CET object at 0xb7d3aaac> 2005-06-01 16:59:00+01:00
And this:
d = datetime(2005,0 6,01,16,59,tzin fo=cest)
print cest, d
Will print:
<__main__.CES T object at 0xb7d3aaec> 2005-06-01 16:59:00+02:00
So at least with these tzinfo objects everything is as expected, I'm
not sure where your actual problem is, is it in the pytz module (with
which I do not have experience)? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

For posterity's sake, here is an algorithm I created to take a GMT
time and convert it to U.S. central time, accounting for daylight

other U.S. timezone by changing the number of second subtracted at the
end.

Say I have the following datetime object:
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> d = datetime(2005, 8, 10, 15, 43)
I happen to know this is a local time from the Netherlands, so I
assume the tzinfo (if it were present) should indicate Central European
Summer Time ("Summer" indicates daylight savings).
How do I convert this date/time information to UTC?

Hi,
Is there any way to make time-of-day adjustments for daylight savings
using only standard time functions? We have a program that executes
daily at a fixed time of day. After daylight savings happens, the
time-of-day alignment is lost. For example, if the daily task gets
kicked in at 9 p.m. every evening, after daylight savings ends in
fall, the task is shown as kicking in at 8 p.m. Similarly, if the
