Thanks for that explanation.
I just tested out the following code to change a pi which was initialized as Phoenix, Arizona (i.e. -7 time zone), to a time zone of -5 (east coast United States time zone):
Prior to running the script the clock showed 9:45 am (which was the current local time in Phoenix, Arizona).
I ran that script and it outputted the following:
09:45:23
11:45:23
This appeared to work, however the clock time in the right hand corner of the pi, still showed 9:45. (I continued to watch it until it reached 9:50.)
I then tried re-running the script, and got the following output:
09:52:41
11:52:41
I assume if the change worked, both time outputs would report "11:52:41", as the time zone was already changed. Thus, it doesn't appear to me, that this is causing a system wide change of timezone. It only appear to change it temporarily.
Am I doing something incorrectly?
