Timezone Aware Datetime To String?

I am retrieving a timezone aware DateTime object from my postgres db. Now I want to convert this datetime object into it's string representation. Normally I would do something like

Solution 1:

Here is a simple example of how to convert a datetime object to a string:

import datetime
import pytz

x = datetime.datetime(2016, 1, 15, 9, 59, 45, 165904, tzinfo=pytz.UTC)
print(datetime.datetime.strftime(x, "%d/%m/%Y"))

Output

15/01/2016

Options for the format string to pass into the strftime() function are in the Python documentation.
