if PEP 431 is implemented (or anything that gives access to zoneinfo) then strptime could extend the list of timezones it accepts (utc + local timezone names) to include names from the tz database: import pytz # $ pip install pytz {tzname for tz in map(pytz.timezone, pytz.all_timezones) for _, _, tzname in getattr(tz, '_transition_info', [])} It includes EST.
