It could go into pytz (but generated from the IANA database, not from the list you quote). Whether it should go into pytz is debatable. If you need to map an abbreviation back to a single timezone you are solving the wrong problem, because you can only map an abbreviation back to a list of possible timezones (And that list might change when the database is corrected). Also, to correctly represent this you need to specify the point in time. EST in 'Tue Dec 3 20:44:00 EST 2013' maps to about 3 timezones. EST in 'Tue Dec 3 20:44:00 EST 2011' maps to about 6. -- Stuart Bishop <stu...@stuartbishop.net> http://www.stuartbishop.net/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
