Thanks. This was useful.

I had to map from USA state abbreviations to python pytz timezones (you can get a look at them typing pytz.all_timezones). Perhaps it comes in handy.

state2timezone = { 'AK': 'US/Alaska', 'AL': 'US/Central', 'AR': 'US/Central', 'AS': 'US/Samoa', 'AZ': 'US/Mountain', 'CA': 'US/Pacific', 'CO': 'US/Mountain', 'CT': 'US/Eastern', 'DC': 'US/Eastern', 'DE': 'US/Eastern', 'FL': 'US/Eastern', 'GA': 'US/Eastern', 'GU': 'Pacific/Guam', 'HI': 'US/Hawaii', 'IA': 'US/Central', 'ID': 'US/Mountain', 'IL': 'US/Central', 'IN': 'US/Eastern', 'KS': 'US/Central', 'KY': 'US/Eastern', 'LA': 'US/Central', 'MA': 'US/Eastern', 'MD': 'US/Eastern', 'ME': 'US/Eastern', 'MI': 'US/Eastern', 'MN': 'US/Central', 'MO': 'US/Central', 'MP': 'Pacific/Guam', 'MS': 'US/Central', 'MT': 'US/Mountain', 'NC': 'US/Eastern', 'ND': 'US/Central', 'NE': 'US/Central', 'NH': 'US/Eastern', 'NJ': 'US/Eastern', 'NM': 'US/Mountain', 'NV': 'US/Pacific', 'NY': 'US/Eastern', 'OH': 'US/Eastern', 'OK': 'US/Central', 'OR': 'US/Pacific', 'PA': 'US/Eastern', 'PR': 'America/Puerto_Rico', 'RI': 'US/Eastern', 'SC': 'US/Eastern', 'SD': 'US/Central', 'TN': 'US/Central', 'TX': 'US/Central', 'UT': 'US/Mountain', 'VA': 'US/Eastern', 'VI': 'America/Virgin', 'VT': 'US/Eastern', 'WA': 'US/Pacific', 'WI': 'US/Central', 'WV': 'US/Eastern', 'WY': 'US/Mountain', '' : 'US/Pacific', '--': 'US/Pacific' }
