如何在 python 中使用带有 datetime 对象的时区?

How do I properly represent a different timezone in my timezone? The below example only works because I know that EDT is one hour ahead of me, so I can uncomment the subtraction of myTimeZone()

import datetime, re
from datetime import tzinfo

class myTimeZone(tzinfo):
    """docstring for myTimeZone"""
    def utfoffset(self, dt):
        return timedelta(hours=1)

def myDateHandler(aDateString):
    """u'Sat,  6 Sep 2008 21:16:33 EDT'"""
    _my_date_pattern = re.compile(r'w+,s+(d+)s+(w+)s+(d+)s+(d+):(d+):(d+)')
    day, month, year, hour, minute, second = _my_date_pattern.search(aDateString).groups()
    month = [
            'JAN', 'FEB', 'MAR', 
            'APR', 'MAY', 'JUN', 
            'JUL', 'AUG', 'SEP', 
            'OCT', 'NOV', 'DEC'
    ].index(month.upper()) + 1
    dt = datetime.datetime(
        int(year), int(month), int(day), 
        int(hour), int(minute), int(second)
    )                   
    # dt = dt - datetime.timedelta(hours=1)
    # dt = dt - dt.tzinfo.utfoffset(myTimeZone())
    return (dt.year, dt.month, dt.day, dt.hour, dt.minute, dt.second, 0, 0, 0)

def main():
    print myDateHandler("Sat,  6 Sep 2008 21:16:33 EDT")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

解决方案

在使用时区时，我推荐 babel 和 pytz.保持您的内部日期时间对象天真并使用 UTC 并转换为您的时区以进行格式化.您可能想要简单对象(没有时区信息的对象)的原因是许多库和数据库适配器不知道时区.
