This may not answer your question directly, but have you thought about ingoring the number at the end of these non-standard timezones? CDT is Central Daylight-saving Timezone, while CST is Central Standard Timezone. And you are correct they are -5 and -6 hours respectively. Does pytz know about CDT and CST?
