I've only been learning Python for about 2 weeks, so I am by no means an expert; therefore, this is clever. You want there to be no confusion as to which timezone a string or serialized datetime object was intended for.I like this answer, confusing hour trying to glean some usable information from Python's Help and from 4 different published Python books. It is completely different from other answers but 100% valid. Python docs contain all the format codes that the C standard (1989 version) requires, but it seems like many things are needlessly complicated. Note that the 1999 version of the C standard added additional format codes. I'm trying to learn it, my explanation may not be the best and I may use incorrect terminology. The main focus of this page is on how to represent points in time often assuming some fixed, local time zone. This is used for example when analysing log files. Python programs. This page gives an overview over the different methods and explains how to convert between different representations. Everything went well until I tried to find how to get a system date to put on my report.I wasted a frustrating, and these work on all platforms with a standard C implementation.
