Hi all,
Been trying to wrap my head around some datetime vs time stuff with
regards to parsing a string as a date plus time with a timezone offset.
This is the string I'm given:
2010-01-22T00:14:33.000Z
And I can use time.strptime to parse out its individual elements, but
then I need to adjust that time, in UTC/Zulu to my local time zone.
Here's what I'm currently trying:
old_launch_time = '2010-01-22T00:14:33.000Z'
os.environ['TZ'] = 'UTC'
time.tzset()
launch_time = time.strptime(old_launch_time,
'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z')
os.environ['TZ'] = 'US/Pacific'
time.tzset()
print 'old time: ' + old_launch_time
print 'new time: ' + time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",
launch_time)
output:
old time: 2010-01-22T00:14:33.000Z
new time: 2010-01-22 00:14:33
But the different tzset() calls are not adjusting based on the 7 or 8
hour difference.
I know that all incoming dates/times are coming to me in UTC. I just
can't seem to get a good handle on how to properly convert it to my own
time zone.
Thanks,
Ian
