| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 1 Pytz brings the Olson tz database into Python. |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 2 This library allows accurate and cross platform timezone calculations using |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 3 Python 2.4 or higher. |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 4 It also solves the issue of ambiguous times at the end of daylight saving time, |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 5 which you can read more about in the Python Library Reference (datetime.tzinfo). |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 6 |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 7 Almost all of the Olson timezones are supported. |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 8 |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 9 Note |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 10 |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 11 This library differs from the documented Python API for tzinfo implementations; |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 12 if you want to create local wallclock times you need to use the localize() |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 13 method documented in this document. |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 14 In addition, if you perform date arithmetic on local times that cross DST |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 15 boundaries, the result may be in an incorrect timezone (ie. subtract 1 minute |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 16 from 2002-10-27 1:00 EST and you get 2002-10-27 0:59 EST instead of the |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 17 correct 2002-10-27 1:59 EDT). |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 18 A normalize() method is provided to correct this. |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 19 Unfortunately these issues cannot be resolved without modifying the Python |
| Hans-G?nter@25231 | 20 datetime implementation (see PEP-431). |
