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。

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)

你可以用:

>>> from time import strftime, gmtime, localtime
>>> strftime('%H:%M:%S', gmtime()) #UTC time
>>> strftime('%H:%M:%S', localtime()) # localtime

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")

如果你喜欢datetime.datetime:

dt = datetime.strptime("2008-09-17 14:04:00","%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
utc_struct_time = time.gmtime(time.mktime(dt.timetuple()))
utc_dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(time.mktime(utc_struct_time))
print dt.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

简单地说,要将任何datetime日期转换为UTC时间:

from datetime import datetime

def to_utc(date):
    return datetime(*date.utctimetuple()[:6])

让我们用一个例子来解释。首先,我们需要从字符串中创建一个datetime:

>>> date = datetime.strptime("11 Feb 2011 17:33:54 -0800", "%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z")

然后,我们可以调用函数:

>>> to_utc(date)
datetime.datetime(2011, 2, 12, 1, 33, 54)

函数如何一步步工作:

>>> date.utctimetuple()
time.struct_time(tm_year=2011, tm_mon=2, tm_mday=12, tm_hour=1, tm_min=33, tm_sec=54, tm_wday=5, tm_yday=43, tm_isdst=0)
>>> date.utctimetuple()[:6]
(2011, 2, 12, 1, 33, 54)
>>> datetime(*date.utctimetuple()[:6])
datetime.datetime(2011, 2, 12, 1, 33, 54)
