How to force python print numpy datetime64 with specified timezone?

Question

I want to see numpy datetime64 objects by my specified timezone.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.datetime64(\'2013-03-10T01:30:54\')
numpy.dateti         


        

Answer 1

You could always set the time zone before printing your datetime64 objects:

>>> import os, time, numpy
>>> os.environ['TZ'] = 'GMT'
>>> time.tzset()

>>> numpy.datetime64(0, 's')
numpy.datetime64('1970-01-01T00:00:00+0000')
