[Zope-dev] Re: Changing DateTime to use pytz

[Laurence Rowe]

I've tested my patch (datetime.datetime support) against Amos's branch 
and it applies cleanly and all tests pass.

It seems though that the new timezones are not used much... doing a 
DateTime() gives me DateTime('2007/10/05 14:20:27.204176 GMT+1') (with 
my pathc applied too). Looking up tz = d._tzinfo[d.timezone()] gives me 
an old style timezone, as _tz is 'GMT+1'.

It would be very useful to be able to get pytz tzinfo for a DateTime 
object. It would allow me to return a timezone aware datetime.datetime 
from asdatetime().

Ideally the old names should be mapped onto pytz timezones.
