See http://bugs.python.org/issue9063 . The problem is again the DST ambiguity. One day a year, datetime(y, m, d, 1, 30, tzinfo=Local) represents two different times and another day it represents no valid time. Many applications can ignore this problem but stdlib should not. The documentation example (fixed in issue 9063) addresses the ambiguity by defaulting to standard time, but it does this at a cost of having no way to spell "the other hour." _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
