将datetime转换为PST时区

Question

How can I make datetime converted into PST timezone? Not trying to use external librarys such as arrow. Also tried using timedelta but that also doesn't work for what I'm trying to do.

today = datetime.datetime.today().date()

Answer 1

PST is 8 hours behind UTC, so you can do something like this:

import datetime as dt
PST_timezone = dt.timezone(dt.timedelta(hours=-8))
PST_now = dt.datetime(1,1,1).now(PST_timezone) # arguments to datetime() don't matter

dt.timezone() let's you create your own time zones relative to UTC, which is easier to work with in general. datetime.now() operates similarly to today() , but accepts a timezone as an argument.
