Python: Figure out local timezone

by

In Python 3.x, local timezone can be figured out like this:

>>> import datetime
>>> print(datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc).astimezone().tzinfo)
AEST

It’s a tricky use of datetime‘s code .

For python < 3.6, you’ll need

>>> import datetime
>>> print(datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(0))).astimezone().tzinfo)
AEST
