General timezones
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
By default, :class:`datetime.datetime` objects are "naïve", meaning
|
|
they lack attached timezone information. These objects can be useful
|
|
for many operations, but many operations require timezone-aware
|
|
datetimes.
|
|
|
|
The two most important timezones in programming are Coordinated
|
|
Universal Time (`UTC`_) and the local timezone of the host running
|
|
your code. Boltons provides two :class:`datetime.tzinfo` subtypes for
|
|
working with them:
|
|
|
|
.. _UTC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time
|
|
|
|
.. autoattribute:: boltons.timeutils.UTC
|
|
.. autodata:: boltons.timeutils.LocalTZ
|
|
|
|
.. autoclass:: boltons.timeutils.ConstantTZInfo
|
|
|
|
US timezones
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
These four US timezones were implemented in the :mod:`datetime`
|
|
documentation and have been reproduced here in boltons for
|
|
convenience. More in-depth support is provided by `pytz`_.
|
|

.. autoattribute:: boltons.timeutils.Eastern
|
|
.. autoattribute:: boltons.timeutils.Central

.. autoattribute:: boltons.timeutils.Mountain
