Makes sense. I can't see any other real explanation for -7200 value if I am in +2 UTC timezone. > Similarly, tzinfo.utcoffset() can be defined as "Returns timedelta one must > add to UTC to arrive at local time." I believe the correct convention is "Return timedelta...". Another concern - if UTC is 0 reference point then there is no reason to add something to it - you just can say - "Return timedelta equal to local UTC offset." ---------- nosy: +techtonik _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9305> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
