Accessing the Comprehensive List of Pytz Timezones

In Python's pytz library, timezones are essential for handling different time zones across the globe. To work with them efficiently, it's imperative to have a comprehensive list.

How to Obtain the Timezone List:

pytz provides two convenient methods for accessing all possible timezone values:

• pytz.all_timezones: Returns a list of all available timezones, including rare or obsolete ones.

Example:

import pytz
timezones = pytz.all_timezones
print(timezones[0:10])

• pytz.common_timezones: Provides a smaller, curated list of the most commonly used timezones.

Example:

common_timezones = pytz.common_timezones
print(len(common_timezones))

List Contents:

The lists generated by these methods contain timezones as strings in the following format:

Continent/Region_Location

For instance:

'Africa/Abidjan'
'Europe/Paris'
'Asia/Tokyo'

This exhaustive list of timezones empowers developers to handle a wide range of time zone scenarios. From specifying timezones in date and time objects to converting between different timezones, these lists serve as invaluable resources for working with time-dependent data.
