The Olson timezone database for Python.
Supports Python 2.7+ and 3.5+.
Installation
pip install pytzdata
Usage
You can access the content of a specific timezone file by using the tz_file()
function:
.. code-block:: python
from pytzdata import tz_file
with tz_file('Europe/Paris') as f:
# Do something with the file
If you just want to know the path to a specific timezone file, you may use the tz_path()
function:
.. code-block:: python
from pytzdata import tz_path
tz_path('Europe/Paris')
By default, pytzdata
will use the bundled timezone database, however you can set
a custom directory that holds the timezone files using the set_directory
function:
.. code-block:: python
import pytzdata
pytzdata.set_directory('/custom/zoneinfo')
You can also set the PYTZDATA_TZDATADIR
environment variable to set a custom directory.
