If you know your utc offset, you can define a function to correct the time and then pass it to logging.Formatter.converter.

For example, you want to convert the time to UTC+8 timezone, then:

import logging
import datetime


def beijing(sec, what):
    '''sec and what is unused.'''
    beijing_time = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(hours=8)
    return beijing_time.timetuple()


logging.Formatter.converter = beijing

logging.basicConfig(
    format="%(asctime)s %(levelname)s: %(message)s",
    level=logging.INFO,
    datefmt="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",
)

Just change the hours in datetime.timedelta(hours=8) depending on your situation.
