Hi friends,
I need a little help here, I 'm stuck with epoch calculation issue.
I have this datetime:
date_new = datetime(*time. strptime('20080 101T000000','%Y %m%dT%H%M%S')
[0:6])
This date_new is in UTC
Now I need to know the seconds since epoch of this new date, so I run
this:
seconds = int(time.mktime (date_new.timet uple()))
but the seconds returned belongs to :
Tue, 01 Jan 2008 03:00:00 GMT
because the localtime is in timezone 'America/Santiago': -3
I fix this trying to alter the TZ with time.tzset():
os.environ['TZ'] = 'UTC'
time.tzset()
..... and now I can gets the right epoch, but I can't restore the
previous TimeZone, I try with:
os.environ['TZ'] = '', but the time.tzset() doesn't back to the
original ( America/Santiago)
A solution should be set the os.environ['TZ'] to 'America/Santiago'
but I can't make a TZ hardcode because
the software should works on different timezones.
So the question, how can restore the system into original timezone, or
how to know the seconds since epoch
from UTC datetime without change the local system TIMEZONE.
please help

I think you need to del os.environ['TZ'] rather than setting it to the
empty string.
On my box:
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Feb 4 2008, 21:48:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin

Thanks Chris, and also I found that with reload(time) works too

I want to simply get the unix style epoch time
(number of secs to now from Jan 01, 1970 UTC) for
use as a timestamp to track the staleness of some
objects. So I don't care about time zones or whatever
as long as it's consistent. So I picked the epoch time
UTC getting the value I wanted, "timestamp", this way:

using namespace boost::gregorian;

I need to convert timestamps that are given as the number of seconds
that have elapsed since midnight UTC of January 1, 1970, (not counting
leap seconds).
It seems all of the std C functions expect positive offsets from this
date and are incapable of working on dates preceeding the epoch (i.e.
negative offsets) - which IMHO shows a remarkable lack of foresight -
and is *just* a little bit annoying.
Does anyone know of an algo I can...

Is the epoch time the number of seconds elapsed since January 1st 1970
in my timezone or as per UTC? I mean, if A's program makes a call to
time() in Melboune and B's program makes a call to time() in Montreal
AT THIS VERY INSTANT, will they return the same values, or will A's
program return a value that is more than B's value by 36000 (since
Melboune is 10 hours ahead of Montreal).
Thanks,

hi,
i am using Date::Time and using localtime function to convert a given timestamp to epoch seconds. Everything is fine. The problem comes when we give date someting like 2008-11-31 04:45:45 . The error it is giving is date out of range (0..30). It is not converting date with 31 to its equvivalent epoch seconds.
How to convert this into epoch seconds? Pls give me a solution.
Thanks,
Pavan
