cmislib should not drop timezone information when reading properties from the
repository
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CMIS-309
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CMIS-309
Project: Chemistry
Issue Type: Bug
Components: python-cmislib
Affects Versions: 0.2.0-incubating
Reporter: Olivier Grisel
Datetime properties are parsed with a regular expression in
src/cmislib/model.py:
# This seems to be the common pattern across known CMIS servers
# It is essentially ISO 8601 without the microseconds or time zone offset
timeStampPattern = re.compile('^(\d{4}\-\d{2}\-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})?')
This pattern is used by the `parseDateTimeValue(value)` function line 3878 in
model.py. Ignoring the timezone information makes it impossible to work
correctly when the client and the server are not in the same timezone or when
the client is moving from one timezone to another.
This is especially useful when trying to detect whether the document has been
recently updated on the server or not.
