Here’s some quick code samples for shifting a UTC datetime object (created_at is a datetime.utcnow()) to a different timezone. In this first example, we use timedelta to add/remove hours to find the current time at UTC-6:00.
local_time = created_at + timedelta(hours=-6)
final_time = datetime.strftime(local_time, '%Y-%m-%d %I:%M:%S %p')In this sample, a datetime (created_at) is declared to be a UTC time, then converted into US/Chicago time and formatted for human presentation:
local_datetime = pytz.timezone('UTC').localize(created_at).astimezone(pytz.timezone('US/Central'))
local_datetime_str = "Created (User Local Time): " + str(datetime.strftime(local_datetime, '%Y-%m-%d %I:%M:%S %p'))
