Here's what I've tried so far... - set os.environ['TZ'] to 'UTC' on startup - failed because GAE overwrites this. - set os.environ['TZ'] to 'UTC' on each call by creating a child class to webapp.WSGIApplication and adding it to __call__() - failed because GAE overwrites this. - monkeypatching datetime.datetime.now() to use a specially hacked function - failed because GAE disallows modifying now()
I'm currently trying a hack to rewrite all calls (100+) to datetime.datetime.now() to instead use an app-specific implementation which returns the UTC time - this won't work for third party libraries, but that maybe OK for my app, which uses pylint custom rules to migrate engineers to using app-specific replacement functions (e.g. we disallow direct calls to gc.collect() so we can track stats better). If this works, I'll post. adam On Wednesday, March 9, 2016 at 1:45:54 PM UTC-8, Adam Sah wrote: > > e.g. os.environ['TZ'] changed to America/Chicago when before it was UTC. > > The docs don't mention this difference anywhere. > > If anyone has a workaround, pls reply - I'm working on a workaround now, > will post if successful. > > hope this helps, > adam > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
