+{% highlight python %}
+from datetime import datetime
+from dateutil import tz
+date_str = "2014-08-08 19:18:01"
+fmt="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
+from_zone = tz.gettz('UTC')
+to_zone = tz.gettz('America/New_York')
+
+utc = datetime.strptime(date_str, fmt)
+utc = utc.replace(tzinfo=from_zone)
+print utc.strftime(fmt)
+# Convert time zone
+central = utc.astimezone(to_zone)
+print central.strftime(fmt)
+{% endhighlight %}
