Hi! I'm trying to get a handle on pytz (http://pytz.sourceforge.net/). I don't have root on the system I'll be running my script on, so I need to go for a local installation. I copied pytz into a folder in my sys.path and am importing from there. That part seems to work. I downloaded the tarball on http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytz/#downloads
So now I'm walking through the examples on http://pytz.sourceforge.net/#example-usage. This is what happens: Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. (InteractiveConsole) >>> from datetime import datetime, timedelta >>> from pytz import timezone >>> import pytz >>> utc = pytz.utc >>> utc.zone 'UTC' >>> eastern = timezone('US/Eastern') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\code\SoF\serversonfire\pytz\__init__.py", line 181, in timezone _tzinfo_cache[zone] = build_tzinfo(zone, fp) File "C:\code\SoF\serversonfire\pytz\tzfile.py", line 30, in build_tzinfo typecnt, charcnt) = unpack(head_fmt, fp.read(head_size)) error: unpack requires a string argument of length 44 Can anyone explain to me why that call fails? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
