Whoops, you're right. But that's even worse-- it doesn't give you a way to convert a naive datetime at all. Currently the only way from "2013-11-03 01:30:00" to "2013-11-03 01:30:00-0500 America/Chicago" is still datetime.replace().

Well, you are right, but at least we do have a localtime utility hidden in the email package:

from datetime import * from email.utils import localtime print(localtime(datetime.now())) 2015-04-09 15:19:12.840000-04:00

You can read <http://bugs.python.org/issue9527> for the reasons it did not make into datetime. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20150409/2690e18e/attachment.html>
