Formatting Time Django Template

Question

I am extracting a time stamp from JSON which I want to convert to EST and format in human readable form.

When I extract it from JSON, I get the following text: "2012-06-30T10:36:06-07:00"

How do I convert it to east coast time (+3 hours) and in proper format ("6-30-2012 1:36pm")?

you could use the pyiso8601 package that does this exactly. It accepts tzinfo which you can use pytz library to get predefined timezones. [they have plenty of e.g.]
