New submission from Pablo Castagnino <pablo.castagn...@gmail.com>: Something in python's timezone handling needs to be updated. Python does not take into account 'daylight saving' clock time changes.
The thing is my clock time is correct. If you ask anyone here for the time, they will tell you it's X. However, Python believes (correct) current time is X + 1 hour. In fact, this is the case most of the time, but because of 'daylight saving' measures, official time has been changed. So, without a doubt, this needs to be fixed. A solution could be adding the possibility to set a 'daylight saving' option which helps dealing with this. So, if I set this option to 3600 secs, then Python could +/- this remainder to the, let's call it, 'expected current time' according to the timezone. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 79415 nosy: earendili510 severity: normal status: open title: Python's timezon handling: daylight saving option type: feature request _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4881> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
