Options replacing DateTime with datetime!?
by Andreas Jung 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Hi, perhaps the sun burned too long on my brain today but I investigated some options for replacing DateTime with Python's datetime module. Zope 3 uses datetime and we all know that the DateTime implementation sucks. Especially the timezone implementation has a bunch of problems (count the bugtracker issues related to timezone errors). Constraints: We can not get rid of the DateTime class and its API for backward compatibility reasons. Idea: The DateTime class remains in place and uses an instance attribute to represent the original value of a DateTime object as instance of datetime. Calls to the old DateTime API are proxied to corresponding calls of the datetime API (or emulated) Efforts so far: I have some quick-and-dirty implementation that can construct the datetime instance directly within the DateTime constructor and when loading an object from the ZODB (using a custom __setstate__() implementation...could be used for an on-the-fly migration). This seems to work properly. For timezone related issues I am using pytz. However there is a problem with using pytz: the timezone names supported by pytz are sometimes different from the standard one. E.g. 'GMT+0400' is represented in pytz as '/Etc/GMT+0400'...however that seems to be solvable. Before digging deeper I would like to hear some opinions if this seems a reasonable approach? Unlikely that we can achieve 100% backward compatibility but possibly 99%....thoughts...comments? Tnx, Andreas
