 You will only ever see votes from people wanting change... 
 apathy rules
 otherwise. Then when it changes you'll see a whole bunch of 
 bitching about 
 the change, and how there's 1,000 people on the list and only 
 20 people
 voted... etc. d8) Mailling list votes are often a bad idea...

I don't know of a better one though :( We have exactly the same 
problem in the Real World, of course. The alternative is to have 
some arbitrary group trying to guess the right decision, which 
will (of course) always lead to an equal or greater amount of 
bitching :)

I'll be moving off the list to some sort of web-poll, but the 
fact will remain that those who only become opinionated after 
the fact will never be happy :)

Actually +10 but that wasn't an option.

Subject: [Zope] Your feedback: what should DateTime strftime() behavior be?


 Hi all -
 
 There has recently been some confusion over the expected 
 behavior of various approaches to DateTime formatting in 
 Zope regarding timezone representation. I would like to 
 resolve this for the next release by making a proposal 
 and asking you to reply to the list with a "vote":
 
   +1 == agree
 
   +/-0 == no strong opinion
 
   -1 == disagree
 
  
 So then, here is the situation. In Zope 2.2 (and earlier), 
 formatting a date using either:
 
   dtml-var theDate fmt="%A, %B %d %Y, %H:%M:%S"
 
   dtml-var "theDate.strftime('%A, %B %d %Y, %H:%M:%S')"
 
 ...would give you the date *formatted based on GMT rather than 
 the timezone (usually local) representation of the object*. 
 Simply doing:
 
   dtml-var theDate
 
 ...however, would print the date in the current timezone of 
 the datetime object.
 
 Many feel that this difference is unintuitive and a pain. The 
 proposal is that both:
 
   dtml-var theDate fmt="%A, %B %d %Y, %H:%M:%S"
 
   dtml-var "theDate.strftime('%A, %B %d %Y, %H:%M:%S')"
 
 ...would be changed to apply the format to the current TZ 
 representation of the object rather than convert to GMT. Of 
 course, this could be a problem if there are people currently 
 counting on the output being GMT, which is why we're putting it 
 to a vote. If this change is made for 2.2.1, those who still 
 wanted the output in GMT could just call the 'toZone()' method 
 of the datetime object to get a GMT version before formatting:
 
   dtml-var "theDate.toZone('GMT').strftime('%A, %B %d %Y, %H:%M:%S')"
 
 
 What do you think?
