Downloading time zone aware files, getting wrong files(by date))s

[deanhystad]

If you can't install pendulum you could fall back to constructing a start of day timestamp.

from datetime import datetime, date, time, timedelta
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo
from pathlib import Path
 
items = '/somehost/c$/directory/'  # <--- Some Host in Asia/Kuala_Lumpur 
ndir_p = 'D:somedir/'     # <--------------- Directory for files from Kuala_Lumpur

# Get timestamps for start of today and start of yesterday.
# Use tzinfo=ZoneInfo('Asia/Kuala_Lumpur') to get these for Kuala Lumpur.
today = datetime.combine(date.today(), time(), tzinfo=ZoneInfo("America/Vancouver"))
yesterday = (today - timedelta(hours=24)).timestamp()
today = today.timestamp()
for echf in Path(items).iterdir():
    if echf.is_file():                           
        if yesterday <= echf.stat().st_mtime < today:  # There will be zero gap and zero overlap if you run this once every day.
            try:
                shutil.copy2(echf, ndir_p)                           
            except OSError as st :
                print(f" -- {st}")
