scenario.timezoneutils module¶

Timezone handling.

local(ref_timestamp)¶

Returns the local timezone for the given timestamp.

Parameters:: ref_timestamp – Reference timestamp to compute the local timezone for.
Returns:: Local timezone (fixed time offset, non DST-aware).

Warning

The timezone returned is a fixed time offset, i.e. it does not handle DST (Daylight Saving Time) shifts.

That’s the reason why the ref_timestamp must be set appropriately in order to avoid errors between summer and winter times.

fromstr(tz_desc)¶

Computes a timezone information from an optional string.
