I'll make sure Antarctica/Troll is supported correctly as well. > If I were you, I'd leave the text alone, but add a footnote explaining > that things may need to be adjusted in the obvious ways for timezones > with oddball DST adjustments and/or more than one kind of DST per > year. Makes sense. The US-style DST rules are confusing enough that we probably don't want to complicate the discussion. I'll add a footnote. _______________________________________________ Datetime-SIG mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/datetime-sig The PSF Code of Conduct applies to this mailing list: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
