Yes, the issue was the one that was mentioned in an XXX comment: in many places UTC offset was different at different historical times but standard C library and Python's time module provides a single constant for it. There are plenty of examples that can be found in Olson's database (Europe/Kiev comes to mind), but it is not easy to devise a test that will work cross-platform. Maybe we should just restrict the test to Linux/BSD family of OSes? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue665194> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
