Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I am not sure this is a bug, as I don't think it reasonable to expect every time function call to re-initialize the timezone setting. I think you should change this to a request to see if time.tzset can now be made to work on Windows and not unix-only (as documented, when added in 2.3). The second StackOverflow answer by Lentjes suggests that it can for current Python.
datetime.now(tz=None) has an option to pass a timezone for adjusting the output. An user-friendly app can pass a real timezone instead of the default None and give users means to change what tz they want times displayed for, which may or may not be the current local timezone. ---------- nosy: +belopolsky, brian.curtin, lemburg, terry.reedy, tim.golden _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17627> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
