How to update Python datetime object with timezone offset given in such format: " 0300"?-CodePudding

Given a datetime.datetime object like that:

datetime.datetime(2022, 2, 22, 9, 24, 20, 386060)

I get client timezone offset in such format: " 0300" and need to represent the datetime.datetime object considering this offset.

For example, the object above should look like this:

datetime.datetime(2022, 2, 22, 12, 24, 20, 386060)

CodePudding user response：

IIUC, you have a datetime object that represents UTC and want to convert to a UTC offset of 3 hours. You can do that like

import datetime

dt = datetime.datetime(2022, 2, 22, 9, 24, 20, 386060)

# assuming this is UTC, we need to set that first
dt = dt.replace(tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)

# now given the offset
offset = " 0300"

# we can convert like
converted = dt.astimezone(datetime.datetime.strptime(offset, "%z").tzinfo)

>>> converted
datetime.datetime(2022, 2, 22, 12, 24, 20, 386060, tzinfo=datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(seconds=10800)))
