Listing time zones

From IronPython Cookbook

The following code demonstrates how to list time zones known to the system along with the current system time translated to each of those time zones. This sample makes use of the System.TimeZoneInfo class that was introduced with .NET Framework 3.5.

import clr
clr.AddReference('System.Core') # .NET Framework 3.5 or later required

from System import DateTime, TimeZoneInfo

def main():
    now = DateTime.Now
    zones = TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones()
    print '\n'.join(['%s %s' % (TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(now, zone).ToString('ddd hh:mm'), zone.DisplayName) for zone in zones])

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Sample Output
