All,
As with most things in this industry there are multiple ways of doing
the same thing. Since my last post I have been working with this model
and have come full circle in selecting what appears to be the best
method of storing the timezone offset data in my model. I'm currently
using the following filed in my time zone model:
std_offset = models.SmallIntegerField()
Here are some bits of information that may help you:
- There are 1440 Minutes in a day (24*60)
- You can calculate the offset in minutes by multiplying the offset
time as follows:
ex.( -7 hours * 60 minutes = -420)
Here is an example using the mx date time module:
>>> from mx.DateTime import *
>>> print now() + RelativeDateTime(minutes=-420)
2006-10-09 02:58:02.000
I hope this is helpful for those new to this problem. If you have a
better solution please let me know. If I make a new discovery I will
post it here or on the wiki.
Thanks!
