    <p>I have a timestamp with timezone information in string format and I would like to convert this to display the correct date/time using my local timezone. So for eg... I have</p> <pre><code>timestamp1 = 2011-08-24 13:39:00 +0800 </code></pre> <p>and I would like to convert this to say timezone offset +1000 to dsiplay</p> <pre><code>timestamp2 = 2011-08-24 15:39:00 +1000 </code></pre> <p>I have tried using pytz but couldnt find many examples showing how to use the offset information. One other link that I found on stackoverflow which depicts this exact problem is <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79797/how-do-i-convert-local-time-to-utc-in-python">here</a>. I was hoping there was some better way I could handle this using pytz. Thanks for all suggestions in advance :).</p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p> <p>Thanks Cixate. I just found the solution which is very similar to yours. Found these links helpful - <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79797/how-do-i-convert-local-time-to-utc-in-python">LINK1</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6729902/python-dateutil-parser-fails">LINK2</a></p> <p>Posting the solution for everyones benefit</p> <pre><code>from datetime import datetime import sys, os import pytz from dateutil.parser import parse datestr = "2011-09-09 13:20:00 +0800" dt = parse(datestr) print dt localtime = dt.astimezone (pytz.timezone('Australia/Melbourne')) print localtime.strftime ("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") 2011-09-09 15:20:00 </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
