problem with strptime and time zone

2010-08-24 Thread m_ahlenius
Hi, perhaps I missed this posted already somewhere. I am got a program which reads time stings from some devices which are providing the time zones. I have to take this into account when doing some epoch time calculations. When I run the following code with the time zone string set to 'GMT' it

question on using tarfile to read a *.tar.gzip file
