So much simpler: If you want to get the seconds since epoch, you can use python-dateutil to convert it to a datetime object and then convert it so seconds using the strftime method.

Could you please revise the title to make it clear what your question actually is - as it stands, this appears to be a duplicate of yesterday's effort. I'm not sure how the title is unclear? Yesterday's question was incorrectly marked as a duplicate - the linked question to that does NOT answer my question - which is how to print the current, local, time with current, local, timezone.

Because, as you actually state in the text of the question, your problem isn't printing the timestamp, it's getting the local tzinfo object. This clarification was added to the previous question only after I closed it. Well, this is getting a bit meta now, but surely the question title should be asking how to solve the problem I want to solve so as to be useful for future people searching for the same problem , rather than the technical detail of part of the solution?

If no timezone is set, iso Notably, if this is None instead of the default, then those timestamps that do not have an explicit timezone are returned as naive datetimes instead:. Example Python has only limited support for parsing ISO timestamps.
