Alexander Belopolsky <belopol...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

As far as I can tell, the TZ offset code can be simplified by eliminating 
conversion from timedelta to int and back in utcoffset() and dst() methods of 
time and datetime objects.

The only reason for the restriction that I can think of is that some text 
representation of datetime only provide 4 digits for timezone. The behavior of 
formatting functions, can be preserved while allowing fractional minute offsets 
elsewhere.

On the other hand, given that this issue did not see a single response in more 
than a year, it seems that there is little interest in fixing it.
