New submission from Arjan Keeman <arjan.kee...@gmail.com>:
Consider the following:
tz_naive_object = datetime.strptime("2018-01-05 13:10:00 CET", "%Y-%m-%d
%H:%M:%S %Z")
Python's standard library is not capable of converting the timezone name CET to
a tzinfo object. Therefore the case made above returns a timezone naive
datetime object.
I propose to add an extra optional argument to _strptime.py's
_strptime_datetime function, and to datetime.strptime:
tzname_to_tzinfo:Optional[Callable[[str],Optional[tzinfo]]]=None. This
parameter can be set with a function that accepts the timezone name and returns
a tzinfo object or None (like pytz.timezone). None will mean that a timezone
naive object will be created.
Usage:
tz_aware_object = datetime.strptime("2018-01-05 13:10:00 CET", "%Y-%m-%d
%H:%M:%S %Z", pytz.timezone)
