Description
This PR addresses the issue described in #442. During the testing of python-mysql replication, specifically with the
test_timestamp, it was found that timestamps were being converted to the local timezone instead of being returned as UTC.Changes
Timestamp Conversion: Modified the code where the
fromtimestampmethod is called, to ensure that the timestamp is returned as UTC rather than being converted to the local timezone by usingutcfromtimezone.Impact
This change ensures that the timestamp handling aligns with how MySQL itself manages timestamps, providing consistency and predictable behavior. The modification adheres to the project's philosophy of parsing the replication protocol and passing it to users.
Testing
The changes have been tested on a local Mac system with a time difference of UTC+9 (Korean Standard Timezone), using containers with docker-compose. All relevant tests have been updated and are passing.
Fixed: #442
