I believe that it's not feedgen's job to provide date/time utilities.
This is my code snippet to set current time to feed entry
fe.updated(datetime.datetime.strftime(datetime.datetime.now(), '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ'))
the result is
<updated>2016-03-27T03:12:08+00:00</updated>
You can easily apply timezone conversion before setting the value in a feed entry
You can also just pass a datetime object with a specific timezone like this:
>>> from feedgen.feed import FeedGenerator
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from dateutil import tz
>>> fg = FeedGenerator()
>>> fg.id('http://lernfunk.de/media/654321')
'http://lernfunk.de/media/654321'
>>> fg.title('Some Testfeed')
'Some Testfeed'
>>> fg.updated(datetime.now(tz.tzlocal()))
datetime.datetime(2016, 9, 4, 20, 8, 7, 820300, tzinfo=tzlocal())
>>> print(fg.atom_str(pretty=True))
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<id>http://lernfunk.de/media/654321</id>
<title>Some Testfeed</title>
<updated>2016-09-04T20:08:07.820300+02:00</updated>
<generator version="0.3.2">python-feedgen</generator>
</feed>
As you can see, feedgen will preserve the timezone you set. In this case UTC+2.
Hello, is it possible to config
feedgen
so it will set time with different timezone? F.ex. I need time to be formatted as GMT+3 Or could you please give an example, how to properly setpublished
argument forentry
object?
