Hi,
today I had *very* strange effects with the following code:
on my system it gave me:
2000/08/08
(2000, 8, 8, 0, 0, 0, 'GMT+2')
2000/08/07
Well - this was not quite what I expected. :)
I tracked the problem down to the timezone: When no time is given, the
time is initialized with 00:00. So after applying gmtime in the strftime
function (DateTime.py line 1379) it got shifted out and - hoppla - we
have gone one day back in time. :)
When I apply the attached patch, the output gets correct. But there are
more usages of gmtime in the file and I don't know right now if that is
correct. Perhaps someone who has a deeper insight in date'n'time math
than me should have a look at it.
Greets, Karsten
