The time recorded through:
currentDate, currentTime = time.strftime("%m/%d/%Y"), time.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
gives GMT time, not local/EST time. I've followed the instructions here, but it didn't fix anything. Any thoughts?

Import Time uses GMT not EST
Can I take a look at your files? We can see them from our side, but we always ask permission first.

Yes, go ahead.
I don't see anything like
export TZ="US/Eastern"
in your .bashrc file. What did you change based on the other forum thread?
Could you check again: I added it, but still doesn't seem to work.
How are you running your Python process?
I am running it on a Python 2.7 console.
Interesting. I would have thought that would pick up the stuff from .profile, but I see it doesn't.
Perhaps you could put this code at the top of your Python file:
import os
import time
os.environ["TZ"] = "US/Eastern"
time.tzset()
Yes! That worked, thank you! :)
