The cited video contains good information, but the pace is quite fast and Lennart's speech might be a little difficult to follow for non-native speakers. Here are two weblog articles he wrote on time zones and their problems <URL:http://regebro.wordpress.com/2007/12/18/python-and-time-zones-fighting-the-beast/> <URL:http://regebro.wordpress.com/2008/05/10/python-and-time-zones-part-2-the-beast-returns/>. In brief: Time zones are a still-evolving system to address a thorny real-world sociopolitical problem; and using Microsoft Windows makes it significantly worse. Advice: Use UTC as the canonical timezone (just as you should use Unicode as the canonical text type) inside your application, and push other time zones as far to the edge of your application as possible. Avoid MS Windows entirely. -- \ “There is more to life than increasing its speed.” —Mohandas K. | `\ Gandhi | _o__) | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
