Python项目中很多时候会需要将时间在Datetime格式和TimeStamp格式之间转化，又或者你需要将UTC时间转化为本地时间，本文总结了这几个时间之间转化的函数，供大家参考。

一、Datetime转化为TimeStamp

def datetime2timestamp(dt, convert_to_utc=False): ''' Converts a datetime object to UNIX timestamp in milliseconds. ''' if isinstance(dt, datetime.datetime): if convert_to_utc: # 是否转化为UTC时间 dt = dt + datetime.timedelta(hours=-8) # 中国默认时区 timestamp = total_seconds(dt - EPOCH) return long(timestamp) return dt

二、TimeStamp转化为Datetime

def timestamp2datetime(timestamp, convert_to_local=False): ''' Converts UNIX timestamp to a datetime object. ''' if isinstance(timestamp, (int, long, float)): dt = datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(timestamp) if convert_to_local: # 是否转化为本地时间 dt = dt + datetime.timedelta(hours=8) # 中国默认时区 return dt return timestamp

三、当前UTC时间的TimeStamp

def timestamp_utc_now(): return datetime2timestamp(datetime.datetime.utcnow())

四、当前本地时间的TimeStamp

def timestamp_now(): return datetime2timestamp(datetime.datetime.now())

五、UTC时间转化为本地时间

# 需要安装python-dateutil# Ubuntu下：sudo apt-get install python-dateutil# 或者使用PIP：sudo pip install python-dateutilfrom dateutil import tzfrom dateutil.tz import tzlocalfrom datetime import datetime # get local time zone nameprint datetime.now(tzlocal()).tzname() # UTC Zonefrom_zone = tz.gettz('UTC')# China Zoneto_zone = tz.gettz('CST') utc = datetime.utcnow() # Tell the datetime object that it's in UTC time zoneutc = utc.replace(tzinfo=from_zone) # Convert time zonelocal = utc.astimezone(to_zone)print datetime.strftime(local, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
