localnow
Description
This small Python package is a drop-in replacement for datetime.datetime.now that returns the current time in the
local timezone.
Usage
Suppose you want the current date and time. You could do this:
import datetime
x = datetime.datetime.now()
By default, x will be in UTC. datetime.datetime.now takes an optional tz argument that you can use to specify a
different timezone. However, if you want to use your local timezone, wherever that may be, you need an extra step:
import datetime
tz = datetime.datetime.utcnow().astimezone().tzinfo
x = datetime.datetime.now(tz=tz)
Personally, I find the tz = ... line to be a bit of a distraction and difficult to remember, so I made this package.
It provides a drop-in replacement for datetime.datetime.now that is essentially does the same as the code above but
with a little less code:
from localnow import now
x = now()
That's it.
Installation
You can install this package from PyPI:
pip install localnow
