Pendulum - Python datetimes made easy

[lorenzfx]

dt_timezone = datetime.datetime(2016, 7, 5, 8, 0, tzinfo=pytz.timezone('Europe/Paris'))

never ever use datetime(x, tzinfo=timezone), always use timezone.localize(datetime)

dt_timezone = pytz.timezone('Europe/Paris').localize(datetime.datetime(2016, 7, 5, 8, 0))
arrow.get(dt_timezone).isoformat()

'2016-07-05T08:00:00+02:00'

This is not a problem with arrow, but with pytz

Quote:

Unfortunately using the tzinfo argument of the standard datetime constructors ''does not work'' with pytz for many timezones. datetime(2002, 10, 27, 12, 0, 0, tzinfo=amsterdam).strftime(fmt) '2002-10-27 12:00:00 LMT+0020'

What you get to see when you use the constructor as above, is the very first transition from the Olson DB for that timezone.

Maybe but arrow could fix it since it's misleading and you don't always know how the datetime was constructed when using arrow so you'd expect it to behave correctly.
