convert timestamp in utc timezone to a given timezone

python version: 3.7

I am trying to convert utc timestamps to a given timezone using pytz and astimezone.

(I have timestamps stored in my db in utc timezone and I amtrynig to convert them)

For example:

  • converting '2022-07-18 19:43:26.164345' timestamp to 'US/Pacific' timezone will result '2022-07-18 12:43:26.164345-07:00'
  • converting '2022-07-18 19:43:26.164345' timestamp to 'UTC' timezone will not affect any change - will result '2022-07-18 19:43:26.164345'

here is what I tried:

import pytz

def convert_utc_timestamp_to_timezone(utc_timestamp, dt_timezone):
  return utc_timestamp.astimezone(pytz.timezone(dt_timezone))

expected:

> dt = datetime.datetime.now()
> convert_utc_timestamp_to_timezone(dt, 'UTC') // expected result: dt

but no.., actual result::

> dt = datetime.datetime.now()
> converted = convert_utc_timestamp_to_timezone(dt, 'UTC')
> print(dt) # 2022-07-18 23:10:34.061169
> print(converted) # 2022-07-18 20:10:34.061169+00:00
# dt != converted not as I expect

This works when my local timezone is set to utc - for example when running on online browser

import datetime
import pytz


def convert_utc_timestamp_to_timezone(utc_timestamp, dt_timezone):
  return utc_timestamp.astimezone(pytz.timezone(dt_timezone))
  
dt = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
a = convert_utc_timestamp_to_timezone(dt, 'US/Pacific')

print('in utc timezone',dt)
print('after convert to US/Pacific timezone: ',a)


# results:
#in utc timezone 2022-07-18 20:18:37.253062
# after convert to US/Pacific timezone:  2022-07-18 13:18:37.253062-07:00

dt2 = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
a2 = convert_utc_timestamp_to_timezone(dt, 'UTC')
print('in utc timezone', dt2)
print('after convert to UTC timezone: ',a2)
# results:
# in utc timezone 2022-07-18 20:18:37.264363
# after convert to UTC timezone:  2022-07-18 20:18:37.253062+00:00

But does not work well when running locally - since my pc timezone isn't utc
(the doc actually states that astimezone “converts to local time”)

import pytz
def convert_utc_timestamp_to_timezone(utc_timestamp, dt_timezone):
    return utc_timestamp.astimezone(pytz.timezone(dt_timezone))
dt = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
a = convert_utc_timestamp_to_timezone(dt, 'US/Pacific')
print('in utc timezone', dt)
print('after convert to US/Pacific timezone: ', a)

# result:
# in utc timezone 2022-07-18 20:22:05.526588
# after convert to US/Pacific timezone:  2022-07-18 10:22:05.526588-07:00

dt2 = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
a2 = convert_utc_timestamp_to_timezone(dt, 'UTC')
print('in utc timezone', dt2)
print('after convert to UTC timezone: ', a2)

# result:
# in utc timezone 2022-07-18 20:22:05.576213
# after convert to UTC timezone:  2022-07-18 17:22:05.526588+00:00

what is the correct way to convert timestamp in utc timezone to a given timezone?
I tried pytz localize , but also doesn't give expected result

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere?
