whenareyou

Gets the time zone name of any location in the world. Unless nominatim doesn't know it ;-)

This fork is a (heavily) modified version of @sils whenareyou. Uses nominatim.openstreetmap.org to search the location. It caches the results so that the server isn't stressed by repeated queries of the same address.

example usage

from whenareyou import whenareyou

tz = whenareyou('Hamburg')

tz
Out[1]: 'Europe/Berlin'

from datetime import datetime
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo # Python 3.9+

datetime(2002, 10, 27, 6, 0, 0, tzinfo=ZoneInfo(tz)).isoformat()
Out[2]: '2002-10-27T06:00:00+01:00'

Lookup of IATA airport codes (3-letter) is also included:

from whenareyou import whenareyou_IATA

whenareyou_IATA('PVG') # Shanghai Pudong
Out[3]: 'Asia/Shanghai'

requires

  • v0.4 required Python 3.9+ (zoneinfo module)
  • v0.5 API change: zoneinfo no longer required, should work well with older versions of Python
  • requests, timezonefinder
