Easier to simply start scheduling things in UTC. I run an international Dungeons & Dragons campaign with sessions every Sunday at 02:00 UTC, and nobody needs to be confused by time zones. (The server displays UTC time, so it's easy for anyone to see; for instance, it's now Mon 02:48:09, so session time was about this time yesterday.) Civil time can do whatever it likes, just as long as everyone knows that the meeting is based on UTC. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
