recently i came up here with the intention to fix DateTime#strftime(). while trying this, i had to dig deeper and deeper into the implementation of DateTime and especially the timezone and daylight saving stuff. to be honest, it's completely hacked together :(
Yup.
sorry guys, i won't be able to completely fix this for now. i found a way to monkey patch zope to make it work for my case (2 timezones only). my plan is to completely reimplement DateTime, based on python's datetime in my own freetime (maybe around xmas this year) and give it back to the community.
Well, that would be cool. Just a question: How do you plan to keep and verify backwards compatibility? Any database, with any type of DateTime object, must work transparently. -- Lennart Regebro, Nuxeo http://www.nuxeo.com/ CPS Content Management http://www.cps-project.org/
