Sebastian Rittau <srit...@jroger.in-berlin.de> added the comment:
Leap second handling is usually configurable. Default on Debian Linux
(but similar on RHEL and SuSE):
>>> int(date(1994,1,1).strftime("%s")) - int(date(1993,1,1).strftime("%s"))
31536000
After doing "cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/right/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime":
>>> int(date(1994,1,1).strftime("%s")) - int(date(1993,1,1).strftime("%s"))
31536001
Also, NTP servers usually get this right. I don't think, Python should
promote a wrong date handling by default, even if it's convenient.
