Datetime timezone support

[sobolevn]

Currently I am unable to set timezone for cases like this:

processed_at = mimesis('datetime')

But I would like to do something like:

# To select random tz:
processed_at = mimesis('datetime', timezone=True)  # True should be a default, here I am just explicitly calling it

processed_at = mimesis('datetime', timezone=some_specific_tz)

I am not sure about the dependecies. Timezone support out-of-the-box is limited, we almost always use something like pytz.

So, maybe in this case we will just implement the second case. Leaving timezone support optional. And only enabling passed in timezone.

Hi. As I understood it will be a another property zone: Optional[str] = None in constructor of BaseDataProvider. Also one more question: should it be a separate method for getting datetime with timezone or we need to add it to existent?

@northernwulf Hi! We already have method datetime() and all we need is just add support of parameter timezone for it.

@sobolevn Correct me if I'm wrong.

@lk-geimfari it seems correct to me.

Hi! Just wondering if this enhancement has been added yet.

If not I'd like to give it a shot.

@e-vandenberg Hi! It still did not implement you can take it and implement!

Great. Just so I am not mistaken, would use of this timezone param resemble the following?

>>> d = Datetime()
>>> d.datetime(timezone="America/Guadeloupe")
datetime.datetime(2003, 12, 18, 4, 53, 48, "America/Guadeloupe")

If not, what did you have in mind?

@sobolevn Please, share with your vision of this feature with @e-vandenberg

[sobolevn]
