How to set timezone?

I add that line:

odoo.env.context['tz'] = 'Asia/Shanghai'

But any datetime responses also UTC.

Copied from original issue: osiell/odoorpc#42

odoo.env.user.tz = 'Asia/Shanghai'

You say that responses are UTC, what kind of RPC calls do you do?

@dfang thanks but response also UTC.

@sebalix I'm using odoorpc library and jsonrpc.
I say response are UTC because some record in database the are "2017-2-1 0:00:00", but when I set tz='Asia/Shanghai' it also "2017-2-1 0:00:00"

[sebalix]

I mean, do you use odoo.env[MODEL].method(...) calls or odoo.execute(....)? The context is sent to the server only with the first one.

@sebalix
In Database sale.order has a row, id=1, date_order='2017-2-1 0:00:00'.

import odoorpc
odoo=odoorpc.ODOO()
odoo.login('odoo_v9', 'admin', 'password')
odoo.env.context['tz']='Asia/Shanghai'
S=odoo.env['sale.order']
S.browse(1)

response:

{
"xxxx": "xxxx",
"date_order": "2017-02-01 00:00:00"
}

But in Odoo web UI, it OK, shown as 2017-2-1 8:00:00.

Thanks for the example, I will try to figure out what is happening here.

@sebalix Can it be fixable?

[sebalix]

I don't check yet. If you have time to do this, you could check the JSON value returned in your web browser when you navigate on the Odoo UI. If the raw value is not converted this means that it is the web client which convert it, not the server. This will help to do the right fix.
