Did the patch from Niphlod mentioned here go live?
I see that now validators can take a pytz object specifying the timezone.
However, I was not able to find where the information on how to get the
browser timezone. Is this a plugin?
Also, am I correct to assume that the validators always return the time in
UTC?
I agree that this would be the best approach (given that for some timezones
+ DST settings, there is no one-to-one correspondence between UTC and
localtime...).
Many thanks,
Luca
