pytz brings the Olson tz database into Python. This library allows accurate
|
||
|
|
and cross platform timezone calculations using Python 2.3 or higher. It also
|
||
|
|
solves the issue of ambiguous times at the end of daylight savings, which you
|
||
|
|
can read more about in the Python Library Reference (datetime.tzinfo).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Amost all (over 540) of the Olson timezones are supported [*].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that if you perform date arithmetic on local times that cross DST
|
||
|
|
boundaries, the results may be in an incorrect timezone (ie. subtract 1
|
||
|
|
minute from 2002-10-27 1:00 EST and you get 2002-10-27 0:59 EST instead of
|
||
|
|
the correct 2002-10-27 1:59 EDT). This cannot be resolved without modifying
|
||
|
|
the Python datetime implementation. However, these tzinfo classes provide a
|
||
|
|
normalize() method which allows you to correct these values.
