Im working on converting epoch timestamps to dates in different timezones with pytz. What I am trying to do is create a DateTime object that accepts an Olson database timezone and an epoch time and returns a localized datetime object. Eventually I need to answer questions like "What hour was it in New York at epoch time 1350663248?" Something is not working correctly here: import datetime, pytz, time class DateTime: def __init__(self, timezone, epoch): self.timezone = timezone self.epoch = epoch timezoneobject = pytz.timezone(timezone) datetimeobject = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp( self.epoch ) self.datetime = timezoneobject.localize(datetimeobject) def hour(self): return self.datetime.hour if __name__=='__main__': epoch = time.time() dt = DateTime('America/Los_Angeles',epoch) print dt.datetime.hour dt = DateTime('America/New_York',epoch) print dt.datetime.hour This prints the same hour, whereas one should be 3 or so hours ahead. Whats going wrong here? I'm a total Python beginner, any help is appreciated!
