Is this a correct test?  It failed when I ran it today:

FAIL: testStrftimeUnicode (DateTime.tests.testDateTime.DateTimeTests)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Code\Zope\lib\python\DateTime\tests\testDateTime.py", line
379, in testStrftimeUnicode
    u'Le 02/05/2002 \xe0 10h00')
  File "C:\python23\lib\unittest.py", line 302, in failUnlessEqual
    raise self.failureException, \
AssertionError: u'Le 02/05/2002 \xe0 04h00' != u'Le 02/05/2002 \xe0 10h00'

Looks like the conversion produces a string depending on the time zone
in use on the box where the test is run; I'm in US Eastern, and

>>> import calendar
>>> ts = calendar.timegm((2002, 5, 2, 8, 0, 0, -1, -1, -1))
>>> import time
>>> time.ctime(ts)
'Thu May 02 04:00:00 2002'

here.  That is, the result I got is the correct result for my time
zone (4 west of UTC in daylight time).  The result the test wants is
two hours east of UTC -- which sounds suspiciously French to me
<wink>.
