One problem I can see with using a fixed offset tzinfo for localtime is that it
might confuse people when doing date arithmetic. For example:
>>> d = datetime.localtime() + timedelta(days=7)
While it will give a correct answer as a point in time it will have the wrong
time zone offset if run just before a daylight saving transition, which could
be just as confusing.
I'm not sure how you'd solve this without e.g. importing pytz into the standard
library though.
