It can't. It's a simple representation of a time period. It is useful for situations where you want to express questions like "from this date/time, wait this long, what will the date/time be?". In the absence of a corresponding timezone-aware datetime object, it cannot possibly acknowledge DST. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
