如何将本地时间的datetime字符串转换为UTC时间的字符串?

我确信我以前做过这个,但找不到它,所以希望将来能帮助我(和其他人)做到这一点。

澄清:例如,如果我的本地时区(+10)是2008-09-17 14:02:00,我希望生成一个具有等效UTC时间的字符串:2008-09-17 04:02:00。

此外,从http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2011/7/15/eppur-si-muove/请注意,一般来说,这是不可能的,因为DST和其他问题没有从本地时间到UTC时间的唯一转换。

还有一个使用pytz的例子,但是包含了localalize(),这帮了我大忙。

import pytz, datetime
utc = pytz.utc
fmt = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
amsterdam = pytz.timezone('Europe/Amsterdam')

dt = datetime.datetime.strptime("2012-04-06 10:00:00", fmt)
am_dt = amsterdam.localize(dt)
print am_dt.astimezone(utc).strftime(fmt)
'2012-04-06 08:00:00'

import time

import datetime

def Local2UTC(LocalTime):

    EpochSecond = time.mktime(LocalTime.timetuple())
    utcTime = datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(EpochSecond)

    return utcTime

>>> LocalTime = datetime.datetime.now()

>>> UTCTime = Local2UTC(LocalTime)

>>> LocalTime.ctime()

'Thu Feb  3 22:33:46 2011'

>>> UTCTime.ctime()

'Fri Feb  4 05:33:46 2011'

我在我的一个项目中有这样的代码:

from datetime import datetime
## datetime.timezone works in newer versions of python
try:
    from datetime import timezone
    utc_tz = timezone.utc
except:
    import pytz
    utc_tz = pytz.utc

def _to_utc_date_string(ts):
    # type (Union[date,datetime]]) -> str
    """coerce datetimes to UTC (assume localtime if nothing is given)"""
    if (isinstance(ts, datetime)):
        try:
            ## in python 3.6 and higher, ts.astimezone() will assume a
            ## naive timestamp is localtime (and so do we)
            ts = ts.astimezone(utc_tz)
        except:
            ## in python 2.7 and 3.5, ts.astimezone() will fail on
            ## naive timestamps, but we'd like to assume they are
            ## localtime
            import tzlocal
            ts = tzlocal.get_localzone().localize(ts).astimezone(utc_tz)
    return ts.strftime("%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ")

使用http://crsmithdev.com/arrow/

arrowObj = arrow.Arrow.strptime('2017-02-20 10:00:00', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' , 'US/Eastern')

arrowObj.to('UTC') or arrowObj.to('local') 

这个库让生活变得简单:)

谢谢@rofly,从字符串到字符串的完整转换如下:

import time
time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", 
              time.gmtime(time.mktime(time.strptime("2008-09-17 14:04:00", 
                                                    "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"))))

我对时间/日历功能的总结:

time.strptime 字符串——>元组(没有应用时区,所以匹配字符串)

time.mktime 本地时间元组——自epoch以来>秒(始终是本地时间)

time.gmtime seconds since epoch——UTC中的>元组

and

calendar.timegm tuple in UTC——> seconds since epoch

time.localtime 自epoch ->元组在本地时区的秒数

我在dateutil(在SO网站上被广泛推荐用于其他相关问题)方面运气不错:

from datetime import *
from dateutil import *
from dateutil.tz import *

# METHOD 1: Hardcode zones:
utc_zone = tz.gettz('UTC')
local_zone = tz.gettz('America/Chicago')
# METHOD 2: Auto-detect zones:
utc_zone = tz.tzutc()
local_zone = tz.tzlocal()

# Convert time string to datetime
local_time = datetime.strptime("2008-09-17 14:02:00", '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

# Tell the datetime object that it's in local time zone since 
# datetime objects are 'naive' by default
local_time = local_time.replace(tzinfo=local_zone)
# Convert time to UTC
utc_time = local_time.astimezone(utc_zone)
# Generate UTC time string
utc_string = utc_time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

(代码是从这个答案派生的,将UTC日期时间字符串转换为本地日期时间)
