Re: [Zope] DateTime and TimeZone

2005-09-06 Thread Mark Gibson 
It seems that since the Pacific timezone is in daylight savings time,
the correct offset is -7.

So nevermind.

 When I run python from the command line, and check DateTime, I get: 
 
  from DateTime import DateTime
  DateTime()
 DateTime('2005/09/06 23:55:29.620 GMT-7')
 
 The 'GMT-7' is the Mountain timezone.  The actual time should read
  DateTime('2005/09/06 23:55:29.620 GMT-8') for the Pacific timezone.
 
 What controls the default timezone behavior of DateTime on Windows?  How
 can I get this working correctly?
 
 Thanks,
 Mark

DateTime gets it from Python and Python gets it from the operating
system (its C runtime library).

Under *nix, the environment variable TZ can be used to control
the timezone.
