我需要做什么

我有一个不了解时区的datetime对象,我需要向它添加一个时区,以便能够将它与其他了解时区的datetime对象进行比较。我不想将我的整个应用程序转换为不知道这个遗留情况的时区。

我的努力

首先,演示问题:

Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jun 24 2010, 21:47:49) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import datetime
>>> import pytz
>>> unaware = datetime.datetime(2011,8,15,8,15,12,0)
>>> unaware
datetime.datetime(2011, 8, 15, 8, 15, 12)
>>> aware = datetime.datetime(2011,8,15,8,15,12,0,pytz.UTC)
>>> aware
datetime.datetime(2011, 8, 15, 8, 15, 12, tzinfo=<UTC>)
>>> aware == unaware
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: can't compare offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes

首先,我尝试了astimezone:

>>> unaware.astimezone(pytz.UTC)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: astimezone() cannot be applied to a naive datetime
>>>

这个失败并不奇怪,因为它实际上是在尝试进行转换。Replace似乎是一个更好的选择(如如何在Python中获得“时区感知”的datetime.today()值?):

>>> unaware.replace(tzinfo=pytz.UTC)
datetime.datetime(2011, 8, 15, 8, 15, 12, tzinfo=<UTC>)
>>> unaware == aware
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: can't compare offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes
>>> 

但正如您所看到的,replace似乎设置了tzinfo,但并没有使对象感知。我准备在解析输入字符串之前修改输入字符串以获得时区(如果有问题的话,我将使用dateutil进行解析),但这似乎非常笨拙。

此外,我在Python 2.6和Python 2.7中都尝试了这一点,得到了相同的结果。

上下文

I am writing a parser for some data files. There is an old format I need to support where the date string does not have a timezone indicator. I've already fixed the data source, but I still need to support the legacy data format. A one time conversion of the legacy data is not an option for various business BS reasons. While in general, I do not like the idea of hard-coding a default timezone, in this case it seems like the best option. I know with reasonable confidence that all the legacy data in question is in UTC, so I'm prepared to accept the risk of defaulting to that in this case.


当前回答

一般来说,要使naive datetime具有时区感知,请使用localalize方法:

import datetime
import pytz

unaware = datetime.datetime(2011, 8, 15, 8, 15, 12, 0)
aware = datetime.datetime(2011, 8, 15, 8, 15, 12, 0, pytz.UTC)

now_aware = pytz.utc.localize(unaware)
assert aware == now_aware

对于UTC时区,实际上没有必要使用本地化,因为没有日光节约时间计算要处理:

now_aware = unaware.replace(tzinfo=pytz.UTC)

的工作原理。(.Replace返回一个新的日期时间;它不会无意识地修改。)

其他回答

使用dateutil.tz.tzlocal()来获取你使用datetime.datetime.now()和datetime.datetime.astimezone()时的时区:

from datetime import datetime
from dateutil import tz

unlocalisedDatetime = datetime.now()

localisedDatetime1 = datetime.now(tz = tz.tzlocal())
localisedDatetime2 = datetime(2017, 6, 24, 12, 24, 36, tz.tzlocal())
localisedDatetime3 = unlocalisedDatetime.astimezone(tz = tz.tzlocal())
localisedDatetime4 = unlocalisedDatetime.replace(tzinfo = tz.tzlocal())

注意datetime。astimezone首先将datetime对象转换为UTC,然后转换为时区,这与调用datetime相同。将原时区信息替换为None。

对于那些只是想使一个时区感知datetime

import datetime

datetime.datetime(2019, 12, 7, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)

对于那些在python 3.9 stdlib中希望使用非utc时区的datetime的人

import datetime
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo

datetime.datetime(2019, 12, 7, tzinfo=ZoneInfo("America/Los_Angeles")) 

还有另一种让datetime对象不幼稚的方法:

>>> from datetime import datetime, timezone
>>> datetime.now(timezone.utc)
datetime.datetime(2021, 5, 1, 22, 51, 16, 219942, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)

在时区之间更改

import pytz
from datetime import datetime

other_tz = pytz.timezone('Europe/Madrid')

# From random aware datetime...
aware_datetime = datetime.utcnow().astimezone(other_tz)
>> 2020-05-21 08:28:26.984948+02:00

# 1. Change aware datetime to UTC and remove tzinfo to obtain an unaware datetime
unaware_datetime = aware_datetime.astimezone(pytz.UTC).replace(tzinfo=None)
>> 2020-05-21 06:28:26.984948

# 2. Set tzinfo to UTC directly on an unaware datetime to obtain an utc aware datetime
aware_datetime_utc = unaware_datetime.replace(tzinfo=pytz.UTC)
>> 2020-05-21 06:28:26.984948+00:00

# 3. Convert the aware utc datetime into another timezone
reconverted_aware_datetime = aware_datetime_utc.astimezone(other_tz)
>> 2020-05-21 08:28:26.984948+02:00

# Initial Aware Datetime and Reconverted Aware Datetime are equal
print(aware_datetime1 == aware_datetime2)
>> True
