Changing timezone from EWS datetime_received from standard to +2

I'm trying to change the timezone from UTC+0 to GMT+2. I have tried a lot but i just can't figure it out any help would be amazing

credentials = Credentials(email, wachtwoord)
acc = Account(email, credentials=credentials, autodiscover=True)

for item in acc.inbox.all().order_by('-datetime_received')[:100]:

    print(item.datetime_received)
    #print: 2021-13-09 11:08:31+00:00 
    #print expected: 2021-13-09 13:08:31+02+00

Final solution:

from datetime import datetime
import pytz

credentials = Credentials(email, password)
acc = Account(email, credentials=credentials, autodiscover=True)
tz = pytz.timezone('Europe/Amsterdam')

for item in acc.inbox.all().order_by('-datetime_received')[:100]:
    dt = item.datetime_received.astimezone(tz)
    print(dt)
Solution

  • You can use pytz to display datetime objects in different timezones.

    example:

    import pytz
from datetime import datetime

ts = datetime.now()
tz = pytz.timezone('Etc/GMT+2')
print(ts.astimezone(tz))
