[issue21380] timezone support in strftime methods broken

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily added the comment:

As Jayanth points out, datetime objects are deliberately time zone "naive" by 
default; please read https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html and 
https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#tzinfo-objects for more 
information.  Also see https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytz/.

[issue21380] timezone support in strftime methods broken

[Jayanth Koushik]

Jayanth Koushik added the comment:

This is not an issue with strftime. By default, datetime and time objects are 
'navie' and they do not contain timezone info. Nor does the datetime module 
provide any tzinfo classes of its own. You would need to write a class derived 
from tzinfo and specify it as the tzinfo attribute for these objects to be 
timezone aware.

[issue21380] timezone support in strftime methods broken

[Michael P. Soulier]

New submission from Michael P. Soulier:

msoulier@cappuccino:~$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Mar 13 2014, 11:03:55)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> now = datetime.now()
>>> now.strftime("%z")
''
>>> import time
>>> time.strftime("%z", time.localtime(time.time()))
'+'
>>>

I think those calls should be printing the UTC offset, no?
