I think you are confusing the purposes of a reference manual with that of a tutorial or an FAQ collection. I will keep this issue open, however, in case someone will come up with a patch that does not introduce factual mistakes. As I suggested, the place to present details about tzname, timezone, altzone and daylight variables is the section on time.tzset(). It is currently devoted to a rather useless discussion of the TZ environment variable syntax. Instead, it should describe these variables and list the functions whose behavior depends on the value of TZ (time.localtime(), time.ctime(), time.mktime() and time.strftime()). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7229> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
