There's the pytz library [1] [2], which uses the tz database popular on Unix systems, and python-dateutil [3] [4] also includes support for it, among doing other date- and time-related things. Those support time zone names (America/New_York or EST5EDT), and also converting between them. If you only want to convert between +4 and +0, without giving names for them, you don't need them, but I don't know how to do it. Using UTC internally and only converting to other zones when reading data in and displaying it makes things simpler . .
