Ned Deily <n...@python.org> added the comment: I am not sure I understand what behavior you are expecting. But datetime.now() is documented as returning "the current local date and time" (assuming no tx= argument is provided) while datetime.utcnow() returns "the current UTC date and time". So I would expect the two to provide a similar value only if your system/process local time zone is set to UTC. I'm guessing the time zone in effect when your examples were run was 8 hours ahead of UTC:
