converting unix timestamp to local time

I'm attempting to convert time.time() to the local time. Reading python datetime to unix timestamp, I understand there's some limitations given that the timestamp is in UTC. However, in lieu of just doing:

time.time() - (6*60*60)

Is there a way to convert from UTC to CST and get the CST Unix timestamp?

You can use the datetime module to get the current local time, and then convert that to a UNIX timestamp:

import datetime
import calendar

now = calendar.timegm(datetime.datetime.now().timetuple())

Or on Python 3.3+:

import datetime

now = datetime.datetime.now().timestamp()
