Lovely. Its always bugged me that DateTime carried all its own zone information, but I guess even the datetime python modules punt in this regard. What I'm currious to know is how this caused problems for you, or your clients. I'd like to avoid those problems myself if I can help it.
My legacy site has a lot of <dtml-var somedatetimeobject fmt="%a %b %d"> this writes out the wrong day, because somedatetimeobject is just like you show above. Also, I get different results instantiating a DateTime object with a string, vs. parts DateTime(y,m,d,h,m,s) vs. DateTime('YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS') Why can't Zope just dynamically load the tzfile data as appropriate from the system if it can? -- Brad Clements, bkc@murkworks.com (315)268-1000 http://www.murkworks.com (315)268-9812 Fax http://www.wecanstopspam.org/ AOL-IM: BKClements
