"backward twice" could theoretically do it, if you literally went back an hour, waited an hour (or any nonzero amount less than two hours), and went back an hour again, rather than just going back two hours. I don't know if any real-life authorities have ever done such a thing; that's why I asked. You could also have them if you had a "timezone" representing the real-time local time of someone who traveled across timezone boundaries multiple times in close succession, rather than the time of a geographical place. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
