I want to get the default timezone (PST) of my system from Python. What's the best way to do that? I'd like to avoid forking another process.

pytz brings the Olson tz database into Python. This library allows accurate and cross platform timezone calculations using Python 2.4 or higher. It also solves the issue of ambiguous times at the end of daylight saving time, which you can read more about in the Python Library Reference ( datetime. tzinfo ).
This should work:
import time time.tzname time.tzname returns a tuple of two strings: The first is the name of the local non-DST timezone, the second is the name of the local DST timezone.
Example return: ('MST', 'MDT')
