Google App Engine Set Timezone
comment Reported by javieray...@gmail.com, Oct 19, 2015 There is a problem pytz gae in the offset for the timezone of "America/Montevideo". I have a Java app deployed with a cron job that automatically sends python timezone emails to registered users. Every day at 12:00 the cron job executes and the app asks "which users have registered to receive an email at 12:00?" and then mail those users. Same thing happens
Datetime Datetime
at 00:00. Since October 6, the cron job executes at 12:00 but when the app obtains the current time it gets 13:00, so no one gets mailed. It seems that the cron job and the Java platform have different offsets for the same timezone. This is surely related to the fact that Uruguay has stopped using Daylight Saving Time starting this year, you can read more about it here http://blogs.technet.com/b/latam/archive/2015/09/11/uruguay-eliminar-225-el-horario-de-verano-dst-a-partir-del-a-241-o-2015.aspx (sorry it's in Spanish, I couldn't find an article in English). Oct 19, 2015 #1 pvoutsi...@google.com Hi javier, While this is definitely a possibility that there is such an issue with the timezone, could you provide a log (ideally, a log that shows both your timestamp and the "wrongly reported" timestamp, so we can have a closer look into this? Cheers! Status: MoreInfoRequired Oct 19, 2015 #2 javieray...@gmail.com Attaching a screenshot of my cron configuration and another of the logs screen. As you can see, the cron job is set at 12:00 and 00:00 every day, and that's how it worked until October 6 when the logs start reporting that the execution takes place at 13:00 and 01:00.

If I inspect time.daylight flag it is set to 1 because we are currently in July (hence daylight saving). But if I run datetime.now() on Google App Engine (including the dev server) it doesn't account for daylight saving (british summer time) and returns the wrong time (13:47 instead of 14:47). If I inspect time.daylight in GAE it is set to 0. How can I get the correct local time? Do I need to change google app engine the timezone on my app? python google-app-engine datetime time share|improve this question asked Jul 28 '13 at 14:02 Awalias 71821339 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote accepted Google App Engine's "time zone" is always set to UTC. You can adjust to your local or desired time zone using a library like pytz. Check out the following project on Google Code for an App Engine optimized version of pytz. Google Code - gae-pytz share|improve this answer answered Jul 28 '13 at 14:56 Tombatron 767415 add a comment| up vote 4 down vote AppEngine is a distributed system, whose servers can be located in different datacenters around the globe (afaik, currently EU and USA). Note that the python code you are running runs on the server not in the browser, so you'll never get the client's time. To get clients' time you'll need to use JavaScript and then send it to server. GAE servers' timezone is always set to UTC. Since UTC is in summer time one hour off from UK time, you are getting an hour difference. See this blog series for time handling on GAE: http://www.learningtechnicalstuff.com/2010/01/supporting-timezones-in-google-app.html share|improve this answer answered Jul 28 '13 at 14:54 Peter Knego 69.7k890124 add a comment| up vote 3 down vote I've been able to get this working: import pytz import datetime tz = pytz.timezone('Europe/London') print dateti
, http , status codes , Development , Web During the development of Simple Site Checker I realised that it would be useful for test purposes if there is a website returning all possible HTTP status codes. Thanks to Google App Engine and webapp2 framework building such website was a piece of cake. The site can be found at http://httpstatuscodes.appspot.com. The home page provides a list of all HTTP status codes and their names and if you want to get an HTTP response with a specific status code just add the code after the slash, example: http://httpstatuscodes.appspot.com/200 - returns 200 OK http://httpstatuscodes.appspot.com/500 - returns 500 Internal Server Error Also at the end of each page is located the URL of the HTTP protocol Status Codes Definitions with detailed explanation for each one of them. The website code is publicly available in github at HTTP Status Codes Site. If you find it useful feel free to comment and/or share it. GAE, Timezones and weekdays... Published at May 23, 2010 | Tagged with: Python , Google App Engine , PyTZ , timezones , Development ... or how to find the date of week in specified timezone, no matter where your server is. The problem: I maintain a site targeting user in single country(single timezone) and I have to create administration based on a day of week(show this on Monday, that on Tuesday etc.). The site is based on Google App Engine Platform. The simplest and most obvious solutions is to take the current time and add/substract the difference between server timezone and your target timezone. Unfortunately this is not going to work in our case. Speciality: As you may know google have multiple data centers all over the world. (more info at royal.pingdom.com.) So you can not be sure which server is currently responsible for your app. Also you have a DST(daylight saving time) that also must be included in calculation. Fortunately you can use UTC time and PyTZ for GAE. Solution: from datetime import datetime, timedelta
