http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/datetime.html#tzinfo-objects
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/117514/how-do-i-use-timezones-with-a-datetime-object-in-python
http://pytz.sourceforge.net/

Reading these links suggests that datetime.now() will return the
system time regardless of your locale setting.
Use a timezone to generate a timestamp for someplace other than where
your server sits.

Locales don't affect timezones. Otherwise, how would expatriate
communities, or countries wide enough to span several timezones,
properly configure their software?

Which is where HostGator operates out of.

Use the `pytz` package that Jason pointed out.

Does this help?

import datetime

# The time as UTC (GMT).
now_utc = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
print(now_utc.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))

# The time as UTC+2.
now_local = now_utc + datetime.timedelta(hours=2)
print(now_local.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))

If i wanted to alter the following line, how would i write it?

date = datetime.datetime.now()+datetime.timedelta(hours=2).strftime( '%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

But that doesnt work,

	What did you expect? Object methods bind tighter than operators so
what you have is the equivalent of

dn = datetime.datetime.now()
dd = datetime.timedelta(hours=2).strftime(...)
date = dn + dd

	Try

>>> import datetime
>>> date = datetime.datetime.now()+datetime.timedelta(hours=2).strftime( '%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'datetime.timedelta' object has no attribute 'strftime'
>>> date = (datetime.datetime.now()+datetime.timedelta(hours=2) ).strftime( '%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
>>> date
'12-09-16 03:50:44'
>>> 

	Note the ( ) wrapping the the + clause, with strftime() applied to
the result of that...

which is same as this:

date = ( datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(hours=2) ).strftime( '%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

this also doesnt work either:

date = ( datetime.datetime.now(hours=2).strftime( '%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

if only it would!

date = ( datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(hours=8) ).strftime( '%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

but iam giving +8 hours which is the time difference between texas, us where 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.

You seem to be emailing python-list AND posting to comp.lang.python (or 
the gmane mirror). Please pick one, or the other, and not both, because 
the mailing list and the newsgroup are mirrors of each other. Anything 
you send to the mailing list will be mirrored on the newsgroup 
automatically, there is no need to manually duplicate the post.


Thank you.

No. That's not how mailing lists work. Every email gets posted to all 
members, unless they go onto "No Mail", in which case they get no emails 
at all.

You are not paying anything for the help you are receiving, except to 
give your own time in return to help others. We are all volunteers here, 
and nobody is going to force you to volunteer in return, but if everyone 
only received threads that they initiated, nobody would see new threads 
and nobody would get any answers at all.

You are right, i will set to receive them all.

But i dont know what to do about the thing you say that i double post.

I use google groups i dont intentionally post to python-list too.

How can i avoid that and just only post to python google group?

Once you get the emails from the official mailing list, posting a reply
is straightforward.  Do a reply-all for most messages, perhaps deleting
some of the to or cc addresses depending on a specific message.  Then
trim the parts you're not responding to, and put your new remarks after
the context you are responding to.  It won't double-post.

For new messages, simply address a new message to python-list@python.org

Depending on your mail reader, you can see the messages in threads,
except for all the people who bust up the threads.  When you get to that
point, post a new thread specifying your email program and OS, and
somebody will probably volunteer to help you get it customized (though
perhaps the actual discussion for that would be offline).

For anybody else listening, the way I avoid seeing the google-groups
double-post is to automatically delete any message that's got a cc to
google-groups.  That way I only get the OTHER copy of the message.

It is becoming quite clear that some change has happened recently to
Google Groups that makes posts coming from there rather more obnoxious
than before. And there doesn't seem to be much its users can do except
use something else.

Using Google Groups for posting to Usenet has been a bad idea for a long
time, but now it just seems to be a sure recipe for annoying the rest of
us. Again, not something you have much control over, except to stop
using Google Groups.
