date =3D ( datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(hours=3D8) ).strfti=
me( '%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

but iam giving +8 hours which is the time difference between texas, us wher=
e the server sits and Greece's time.

cant we somehow tell it to use GMT+2 ?

also it would be nice if datetime.datetime.now(GMT+2) can be used.
