I am trying to subtract one date value from the value of datetime.datetime.today() to calculate how long ago something was. But it complains:
TypeError: can't subtract offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes
The return value from datetime.datetime.today() doesn’t seem to be “timezone aware”, while my other date value is. How do I get a return value from datetime.datetime.today() that is timezone aware?
The ideal solution would be for it to automatically know the timezone.
Right now, it’s giving me the time in local time, which happens to be PST, i.e. UTC – 8 hours. Worst case, is there a way I can manually enter a timezone value into the datetime object returned by datetime.datetime.today() and set it to UTC-8?
