This Python module returns a tzinfo object with the local timezone
|
|
information under Unix and Win-32. It requires pytz, and returns
|
|
pytz tzinfo objects.
|
|
|
|
This module attempts to fix a glaring hole in pytz, that there is
|
|
no way to get the local timezone information, unless you know the
|
|
zoneinfo name, and under several Linux distros that's hard or
|
|
impossible to figure out.
|
|
|
|
Also, with Windows different timezone system using pytz isn't of
|
|
much use unless you separately configure the zoneinfo timezone
|
|
name.
|
|
|
|
With tzlocal you only need to call get_localzone() and you will
|
|
get a tzinfo object with the local time zone info. On some Unices
|
|
you will still not get to know what the timezone name is, but you
|
|
don't need that when you have the tzinfo file. However, if the
|
|
timezone name is readily available it will be used.
