Does strftime apply timezone? I just tried but it seems localtime is not applied. I get "2011-03-15 16:54:24" instead of "2011-03-16 01:54:24"

datetime.now() is localtime. datetime.utcnow() returns the UTC compliant form. strftime just specifies the partial output from that datetime object. If you need a specific region timezone you should do something like, import pytz datetime.now(pytz.timezone('Africa/Casablanca')).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
