GAM seems to be ignoring my timezone settings

[+KimNilsson]

Running a simple 'gam info user blabla' will give me a creation date with UTC/GMT time and not the local date and time. Like this:

Creation Time: 2016-10-08T06:05:58.000Z

I know the "real" creation time was 08:05 in local time, which I also know that the computer adheres to.

This makes it difficult to both use and compare data which is exported from other systems, or with other tools from G Suite.

Is there some setting I have forgotten to set in Python?¨

Regular time control displays the correct time.

$ date

Sun Oct  9 20:03:48 CEST 2016

TZ is Europe/Stockholm which is UTC+1, which makes it +2 during daylight saving.

Kim,

API documentation: https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/reference/users#resource

creationTime

datetime

The time the user's account was created. The value is in ISO 8601 date and time format. The time is the complete date plus hours, minutes, and seconds in the form YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD. For example, 2010-04-05T17:30:04+01:00.

Here's what comes back from the API: u'creationTime': u'2015-06-29T19:52:28.000Z'

I always see the value in UTC. To get local time, the returned string would have to be converted to a datetime object, and reconverted to a string in your local timezone.

This never reached the thread, because of wrong send-from address.

Yeah, so it's not happening.

Shame, since exports from for example GAT shows the local time, with the TZ info.

ex 2016-01-18T09:58:35.000+0100

09.58 is the real local time, which then was UTC+1.

From GAM: Creation Time: 2016-01-18T08:58:35.000Z

As long as I don't mix the data I'm fine.
