Addressing the different timestamps for created_on because of different time zones

[mostwanted]

Hi guys, my application is being hosted on pythonanywhere, when i retrieve user inputs and their created_on date & timestamps to display them the timestamps come different from the time of my location. We are 2hrs ahead, is there a way i can have these timestamps similar to the that of my time zone??

Regards

Take a look at the python datetime module, and functions such as datetime.astimezone(tz).

<URL:https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#datetime-objects>

If you need to detect timezones on your client, that can be tricky, but there is a discussion from 2013 in the archives.

Also a strong suggestion to always store UTC, whatever you display it as.
