Expose local timezone offset #7112
Description
Description
It would be useful to have a method datetime.localoffset() -> int, which returns the local offset to UTC. datetime.today(offset: auto) already uses this offset internally.
datetime.today(offset: datetime.localoffset()) should be equivalent to datetime.today(offset: auto), whatever type may be used in the future. See #6277.
This seems like a fairly small change that just exposes already existing internals. Ideally, there would be an API to access the whole timezone data base, but that might be too much.
Use Case
This would allow parsing dates given in UTC and displaying them in local time in a document, in a similar vein to #4107.
In my particular use case, I want to convert markdown files with a yaml metadata header to pdf using typst. The header contains date/time information given in UTC, which I want to display in the document in local time. Both pyrunner and jogs have issues with date/time access, so the only way to do this currently seems to be using --input arguments.
