Tim, are you referring to the "Troll" rule? [1] That's a strange beast indeed and a comment above it says: # The CET-switching Troll rules require zic from tzcode 2014b or later, so as # suggested by Bengt-Inge Larsson comment them out for now, and approximate # with only UTC and CEST. Uncomment them when 2014b is more prevalent. On the other hand, I don't see any challenges to PEP 495 there other than finding means to extract the relevant information. Maybe I should hand-code this rule as demo/test case. [1]: https://github.com/eggert/tz/blob/master/antarctica#L217
