Convert pandas timezone-aware DateTimeIndex to naive timestamp, but in certain timezone
To answer my own question, this functionality has been added to pandas in the meantime. Starting from pandas 0.15.0, you can use tz_localize(None) to remove the timezone resulting in local time. See the whatsnew entry: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/whatsnew.html#timezone-handling-improvements So with my example from above: In [4]: t = pd.date_range(start=”2013-05-18 12:00:00″, periods=2, freq=’H’, tz= “Europe/Brussels”) In [5]: t … Read more
Display date/time in user’s locale format and time offset
Seems the most foolproof way to start with a UTC date is to create a new Date object and use the setUTC… methods to set it to the date/time you want. Then the various toLocale…String methods will provide localized output. Example: // This would come from the server. // Also, this whole block could probably … Read more
“date(): It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings…”
You probably need to put the timezone in a configuration line in your php.ini file. You should have a block like this in your php.ini file: [Date] ; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions ; http://php.net/date.timezone date.timezone = America/New_York If not, add it (replacing the timezone by yours). After configuring, make sure … Read more

On the PHP page where you are want to have the timezone as a variable, have this snippet of code somewhere near the top of the page: <?php session_start(); $timezone = … Read more
How to parse dates with -0400 timezone string in Python?
You can use the parse function from dateutil: >>> from dateutil.parser import parse >>> d = parse(‘2009/05/13 19:19:30 -0400’) >>> d datetime.datetime(2009, 5, 13, 19, 19, 30, tzinfo=tzoffset(None, -14400)) This way you obtain a datetime object you can then use. As answered, dateutil2.0 is written for Python 3.0 and does not work with Python 2.x. … Read more
Creating a DateTime in a specific Time Zone in c#
Jon’s answer talks about TimeZone, but I’d suggest using TimeZoneInfo instead. Personally I like keeping things in UTC where possible (at least for the past; storing UTC for the future has potential issues), so I’d suggest a structure like this: public struct DateTimeWithZone { private readonly DateTime utcDateTime; private readonly TimeZoneInfo timeZone; public DateTimeWithZone(DateTime dateTime, … Read more

How to preserve timezone when parsing date/time strings with strptime()?
I recommend using python-dateutil. Its parser has been able to parse every date format I’ve thrown at it so far. >>> from dateutil import parser >>> parser.parse(“Tue Jun 22 07:46:22 EST 2010”) datetime.datetime(2010, 6, 22, 7, 46, 22, tzinfo=tzlocal()) >>> parser.parse(“Fri, 11 Nov 2011 03:18:09 -0400”) datetime.datetime(2011, 11, 11, 3, 18, 9, tzinfo=tzoffset(None, -14400)) >>> … Read more
