python localtime 与utc时间差5分钟,Python-从DST调整的本地时间到UTC

A specific bank has branches in all major cities in the world. They all open at 10:00 AM local time. If within a timezone that uses DST, then of course the local opening time also follows the DST-adjusted time. So how do I go from the local time to the utc time.

What I need is a function to_utc(localdt, tz) like this:

Arguments:

localdt: localtime, as naive datetime object, DST-adjusted

tz: timezone in the TZ-format, e.g. 'Europe/Berlin'

Returns:

datetime object, in UTC, timezone-aware

EDIT:

The biggest challenge is to detect whether the local time is in a period with DST, which also means that it is DST adjusted.

For 'Europe/Berlin' which has +1 DST in the summer:

Jan 1st 10:00 => Jan 1st 9:00 UTC

July 1st 10:00 => July 1st 8:00 UTC

For 'Africa/Lagos' which has no DST:

Jan 1st 10:00 => Jan 1st 9:00 UTC

July 1st 10:00 => July 1st 9:00 UTC

解决方案

Using pytz, and in particular its localize method:

import pytz

import datetime as dt

def to_utc(localdt,tz):

timezone=pytz.timezone(tz)

utc=pytz.utc

return timezone.localize(localdt).astimezone(utc)

if __name__=='__main__':

for tz in ('Europe/Berlin','Africa/Lagos'):

for date in (dt.datetime(2011,1,1,10,0,0),

dt.datetime(2011,7,1,10,0,0),

):

print('{tz:15} {l} --> {u}'.format(

tz=tz,

l=date.strftime('%b %d %H:%M'),

u=to_utc(date,tz).strftime('%b %d %H:%M %Z')))

yields

Europe/Berlin Jan 01 10:00 --> Jan 01 09:00 UTC

Europe/Berlin Jul 01 10:00 --> Jul 01 08:00 UTC

Africa/Lagos Jan 01 10:00 --> Jan 01 09:00 UTC

Africa/Lagos Jul 01 10:00 --> Jul 01 09:00 UTC
