Python How do I calibrate to a specific time?

Question

There is a web series starting on 2017-01-11 19:00 Warsaw time. I want to make a list of time zones for major cities to help people figure out when to tune in. How can I tell Python that the date variable is related to the time in Warsaw?

import datetime
from pytz import timezone
from pytz import common_timezones

# warsaw time
s = '2017-01-11 19:00:00.801000'
format = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f'
date = datetime.datetime.strptime(s, format)

fmt = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z%z"
warsaw_time = date
print(warsaw_time.strftime(fmt))

for zone in common_timezones:
  print( zone + str(warsaw_time.astimezone(timezone(zone))) )

If I understand correctly, you are trying to set the date to Warsaw's local time (CET). Which you can do like this:

>>> warsaw = pytz.timezone("CET")
>>> dt = datetime.datetime(2017, 1, 11, 19, 0, 0, 0, warsaw)
>>> dt
datetime.datetime(2017, 1, 11, 19, 0, tzinfo=<DstTzInfo 'CET' CET+1:00:00 STD>)
