如何从日期时间对象中删除pytz时区?

问题:如何从日期时间对象中删除pytz时区?

有没有一种简单的方法可以从pytz datetime对象中删除时区?
例如,dtdt_tz本示例中进行重构:

>>> import datetime
>>> import pytz
>>> dt = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> dt
datetime.datetime(2012, 6, 8, 9, 27, 32, 601000)
>>> dt_tz = pytz.utc.localize(dt)
>>> dt_tz
datetime.datetime(2012, 6, 8, 9, 27, 32, 601000, tzinfo=<UTC>)

Is there a simple way to remove the timezone from a pytz datetime object?
e.g. reconstructing dt from dt_tz in this example:

>>> import datetime
>>> import pytz
>>> dt = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> dt
datetime.datetime(2012, 6, 8, 9, 27, 32, 601000)
>>> dt_tz = pytz.utc.localize(dt)
>>> dt_tz
datetime.datetime(2012, 6, 8, 9, 27, 32, 601000, tzinfo=<UTC>)

要从日期时间对象中删除时区(tzinfo):

# dt_tz is a datetime.datetime object
dt = dt_tz.replace(tzinfo=None)

如果您使用的是诸如arrow的库,则可以通过简单地将arrow对象转换为datetime对象来删除时区,然后执行与上述示例相同的操作。

# <Arrow [2014-10-09T10:56:09.347444-07:00]>
arrowObj = arrow.get('2014-10-09T10:56:09.347444-07:00')

# datetime.datetime(2014, 10, 9, 10, 56, 9, 347444, tzinfo=tzoffset(None, -25200))
tmpDatetime = arrowObj.datetime

# datetime.datetime(2014, 10, 9, 10, 56, 9, 347444)
tmpDatetime = tmpDatetime.replace(tzinfo=None)

你为什么要这样做?一个例子是mysql不支持DATETIME类型的时区。因此,使用ORM之类的sqlalchemy时,只要为datetime.datetime对象提供要插入数据库的时区,它便会删除时区。解决方案是将datetime.datetime对象转换为UTC(由于无法指定时区,因此数据库中的所有内容均为UTC),然后将其插入数据库(无论如何都删除了时区),也可以自行删除。还要注意,您不能比较datetime.datetime其中一个是时区感知而另一个是时区幼稚的对象。

arrowObj = arrow.get('2014-10-09T10:56:09.347444-07:00')

arrowDt = arrowObj.to("utc").datetime

# inserts datetime.datetime(2014, 10, 9, 17, 56, 9, 347444, tzinfo=tzutc())
insertIntoMysqlDatabase(arrowDt)

# returns datetime.datetime(2014, 10, 9, 17, 56, 9, 347444)
dbDatetimeNoTz = getFromMysqlDatabase()

# cannot compare timzeone aware and timezone naive
dbDatetimeNoTz == arrowDt # False, or TypeError on python versions before 3.3

# compare datetimes that are both aware or both naive work however
dbDatetimeNoTz == arrowDt.replace(tzinfo=None) # True

To remove a timezone (tzinfo) from a datetime object:

# dt_tz is a datetime.datetime object
dt = dt_tz.replace(tzinfo=None)

If you are using a library like arrow, then you can remove timezone by simply converting an arrow object to to a datetime object, then doing the same thing as the example above.

# <Arrow [2014-10-09T10:56:09.347444-07:00]>
arrowObj = arrow.get('2014-10-09T10:56:09.347444-07:00')

# datetime.datetime(2014, 10, 9, 10, 56, 9, 347444, tzinfo=tzoffset(None, -25200))
tmpDatetime = arrowObj.datetime

# datetime.datetime(2014, 10, 9, 10, 56, 9, 347444)
tmpDatetime = tmpDatetime.replace(tzinfo=None)

Why would you do this? One example is that mysql does not support timezones with its DATETIME type. So using ORM’s like sqlalchemy will simply remove the timezone when you give it a datetime.datetime object to insert into the database. The solution is to convert your datetime.datetime object to UTC (so everything in your database is UTC since it can’t specify timezone) then either insert it into the database (where the timezone is removed anyway) or remove it yourself. Also note that you cannot compare datetime.datetime objects where one is timezone aware and another is timezone naive.
