Timezone Conversion With Pyspark From Timestamp And Country

I'm trying to convert UTC date to date with local timezone (using the country) with PySpark. I have the country as string and the date as timestamp So the input is : date = Timesta

Solution 1:

Use tzinfo instance and not string as timezone.

>>> timezone_name = pytz.country_timezones(country)[0]
>>> timezone_name
'Europe/Paris'
>>> timezone = pytz.timezone(timezone_name)
>>> timezone
<DstTzInfo 'Europe/Paris' LMT+0:09:00 STD>
>>>
