unexpected results converting timezones in python

Question

I\'m trying to understand why I\'m getting these results when converting timezones to UTC:

In [74]: d1 = datetime(2007, 12, 5, 6, 30,tzinfo=pytz.timezone(\'U         


        

Answer 1

I'm revisiting some questions about date and time to see if some of the newer libraries prove more helpful in situations like this (or not). pendulum is one that stores timezone with date and time, making it particularly valuable in situations such as this.

>>> import pendulum
>>> d1 = pendulum.datetime(2007,12,5,6,30, tzinfo='US/Pacific')
>>> d1

>>> d1.timezone

>>> d1.astimezone(tz='UTC')

Lots of other sweet features too.
