How do I convert any given epoch to a human readable format for the system timezone?

Answer 1

time.strftime combined with time.localtime should do the trick. The %Z option will output the system timezone. For example:

>>> print time.strftime("%Z - %Y/%m/%d, %H:%M:%S", time.localtime(time.time()))
CDT - 2014/07/15, 13:32:19

Here, you can replace time.time() with your chosen epoch.
