For background information: the purpose of storing them in a tzfile is to allow that tzfile to be used as a template for dynamically creating timezones with the same rules but other offsets. This is used for the timezone named "posixrules" - which is a US timezone (America/New_York) by default - to generate timezones for POSIX timezone strings that don't explicitly specify their daylight rules. They should not be used for normal interpretation of a timezone. _______________________________________________ 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/
