This is probably dumb, but using datetime.now() produces UTC time and not local time.  
What would be the relatorio incantation to print localtime?

There is an issue already for this [Add format\_datetime to Report (#7202) · Issues · Tryton / Tryton · GitLab](https://bugs.tryton.org/issue7202). But at the moment the only thing you can do is create a function yourself to get the local time.
