I have the same problem and solving through this function passing DateTime would be converted to UTC format  and your timezone to save on the database as UTC
def convert_TZ_UTC(self, mydate , tz ) :
tz = tz if tz else self.env.user.tz
fmt = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
# Current time in UTC
now_utc = datetime.now ( timezone ('UTC'))
# Convert to current user time zone
now_timezone = now_utc.astimezone ( tz )
UTC_OFFSET_TIMEDELTA = datetime.strptime ( now_utc.strftime ( fmt ), fmt ) - datetime.strptime (

You really have to check tz value. If this happen

'2014-06-17 16:25:25+05:30' but i want to print it in '2014-06-17 21:55:25'

then tz = pytz.utc.
