Not really related to this, but I had following problem: how to
convert local finnish time zone to utc. I could not really find
solution to this. Using python time library does not work because
time.tzset does not work on app engine. In the end I decided to build
solution by hand, only working for one timezone. If anyone knows
better solution, let me know.
The code:
def utc_offset(dt, country_code):
""""Return utc_offset in hours for given time. This can be wrong
for times
during the change period of summer<->winter (between 3 and 4
am)."""
assert country_code == "fi", "Only finland is supported"
year = dt.year
# start and end of summer time in finland
start = datetime.datetime(year, 3, 31, 3, 0)
end = datetime.datetime(year, 10, 31, 3, 0)
start_sunday = first_sunday(start)
end_sunday = first_sunday(end)
if dt > start_sunday and dt < end_sunday:
return 3
else:
return 2
