问题 i've got a silly problem. I'm parsing Facebook user data, and I get the timezone as a number: timezone: The user's timezone offset from UTC For me ( 'America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires' ) it's -3. Now, how can I convert that number to a pytz.timezone ? Thank you! 回答1: There's not a 1:1 correspondence, so there's no way to do it without making some assumptions that are bound to be invalid. You can create your own tzinfo class that encodes the offset directly without trying to tie it back to a zone

Is UTC_TIMESTAMP() affected by daylight savings?

廉价感情. 提交于 2021-02-04 19:08:21
问题 I am writing an app that has a time slot booking system. The users can be in different timezones, thus I need to store the values in the database in UTC time. I was wondering how UTC_TIMESTAMP() is calculated in MySQL. Is it reliable? If the server timezone is in an area with daylight savings will UTC_TIMESTAMP() always behave correctly, even during time changes due to daylight savings? 回答1: UTC is always +0:00 - it ignores daylight savings, regardless of whether or not it is in effect.

问题 This is a question similar to this one. I'm really tempted to store datetimes in my app as local time rather than as UTC (which is considered a best practice). In the app I have a number of events happening, each assigned to a given location. Always when I display them to the user, I want to show the local time of the event. I.e.: ==================================================================================== Event time (with TZ) | As UTC | As local time | To be displayed | =============

问题 Having country-state code as input, is it possible to get the timezone using Java? For example us-tx -> (GMT-6) Tried using this answer, however this method uses only the country code, without the state and the output is : US/Alaska_US/Aleutian_US/Arizona_US/Central_US/East-Indiana_US/Eastern_US/Hawaii_US/Indiana-Starke_US/Michigan_US/Mountain_US/Pacific_US/Pacific-New_US/Samoa 回答1: This isn't possible - in any language.

Getting client's TimeZone without using the normal JavaScript funtion 'getTimezoneOffset'?

问题 I am currently working on a registration form on a site, and I need to know exactly how to get the Timezone Offset for an active user-client to calculate his actual local time (no need for DST). I've tried the JS method using the function getTimeZoneOffset() but it seems that it not very recommended because it is relying on the user Time Settings. (I changed the clock time on my machine and try it) So any change in the user time settings will alter the timezone offset. Are there any other
