I have a date string here "2019-08-24T08:00:00-04:00" and I want to parse it on my system's timezone in python.

JAVASCRIPT

   new Date("2019-08-24T08:00:00-04:00");

this one returns Sun Aug 25 2019 00:25:00 GMT+0800 (Singapore Standard Time) w/c is what I wanted

PYTHON

from dateutil.parser import parse as parseDate

parseDate("2019-08-24T08:00:00-04:00")

this one returns datetime.datetime(2019, 8, 24, 8, 0, tzinfo=tzoffset(None, -14400))

so the other one is August 25 on JS, on python its August 24
