If you are asking for a time-zone database, such as pytz (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pytz/), then I think there are two reasons for why no such code is included: a) such a database is not available in standard C, or even in POSIX. So it is not possible to provide this functionality by wrapping a widely-available library. b) no code to provide such functionality has been contributed. Normally, b) would be the bigger issue. In this case, I think there might also be resistance to including a large database (as usual when inclusion of some database is proposed).
