I think I have found an inconsistency in the Zope DateTime class.
The following piece of code illustrates it.
#!/usr/bin/python
import DateTime
now = DateTime.DateTime()
for x in range(0,24):
dt = DateTime.DateTime('%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:30:00' % (now.year(),
now.month(),
now.day(),x))
print dt.parts()
# end of code
Here is the output on my Debian Linux box.

Notice that at 8:30 am the DateTime class prints 8:29:60
instead of 8:30:00. Then notice at 2:30 and 5:30 the number
of seconds is slight off too. I have not found the cause yet.
Has anyone noticed this problem too?
