Answer 1

Thanks for the question. Here is just an alternative way, which is do some date operation after you fetch the data using "datetime.timedelta()". You can calculate the offset time from UTC, and then do a date adjust. Just for your reference.

>>> import datetime 
>>> offset = -10 # in hours
>>> original = '08/19/2015 10:59' 
>>> adjusted = datetime.datetime.strptime(original, '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M') + datetime.timedelta(hours=offset) 
>>> print adjusted.strftime('%m/%d/%Y %H:%M') 
    08/19/2015 00:59
