Example to show how to change timezone using *nix environment variable

nswtime.py

'''
module to get Sydney/Australia's local time.
This module is not portable as time.tzset() is not supported at Windows Environment but only at *nix.
Will be useful if deployment system is in different time zone to application's target time zone.

import os
import time
from time import strftime, localtime

def getTime():
	os.environ['TZ'] = 'Australia/Sydney'
	time.tzset()
	return strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
