Setting timezone in Python

Question

Is it possible with Python to set the timezone just like this in PHP:

date_default_timezone_set(\"Europe/London\");
$Year = date(\'y\');
$Month = date(\'m\')         


        

Answer 1

For windows you can use:

Running Windows command prompt commands in python.

import os
os.system('tzutil /s "Central Standard Time"')

In windows command prompt try:

This gives current timezone:

tzutil /g

This gives a list of timezones:

tzutil /l

This will set the timezone:

tzutil /s "Central America Standard Time"
