I ran into an internationalization issue. I need a consistent idea about the timezone my application is running on. However when I run the following: >>> import time >>> time.tzname
I get back ('West-Europa (standaardtijd)', 'West-Europa (zomertijd)') which is in dutch (the language of the host machine) and verbose. I wanted to get ('CEST','CET') or something international so I can work with itin the same way on all platforms. That is the right way to find out the timezone in a consistent way across platforms (windows/linux/mac) and languages? Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
