Hello, I'm writing a small program that needs to check Unix timestamps for falling into an interval (typical usage: ./program 2005-03, you get the idea). Now, I create two time stamps from the user's input to create the interval's borders using mktime(). Trying to check the sanity of my program, I also converted the values back to tuples using localtime(). Unfortunately, I get back one of them with the DST flag set, and the other with the DST flag unset.
I have _no_ idea on how localtime() could reasonably synthesize different values for that flag for _any_ time value converted in about the same millisecond. What gives? Thank you! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
