Floating time zone = non-floating

2003-02-02 Thread Dave Rolsky 
If I have a datetime object with a floating time zone and then I set the
time zone to some non-floating zone, I shouldn't change the local time,
right?

And how about non-floating = floating?  Same thing, no adjustment, right?

Yes and yes. And if someone wanted different, it would be easy to have 
methods like:

  $dt-unfloat_from_UTC( time_zone = 'America/Chicago' );

which takes the floating time as UTC and offsets to local time for the 
object's now-anchored time.
