- PosixTimeZone is a tzinfo implementation for Python 2.3, using the
POSIX calls provided by many operating systems to handle timezone calculations:
>>> from datetime import timedelta,datetime >>> from PosixTimeZone import PosixTimeZone >>> UTC = PosixTimeZone('UTC') >>> Amsterdam = PosixTimeZone('Europe/Amsterdam') >>> now = datetime.now(UTC) >>> str(now) '2003-01-30 07:01:07.885573+00:00' >>> now.tzname() 'UTC' >>> str(now.astimezone(Amsterdam)) '2003-01-30 08:01:07.885573+01:00' >>> now.astimezone(Amsterdam).tzname() 'CET'
