[Zope-dev] another DateTime bug ?

[Steve Alexander]

Again, I'm in a GMT+1 timezone.

This time, I'm surprised that the GMT+0 timezone is considered different 
than the GMT timezone. I'd have thought they would be just the same.

 >>> from DateTime.DateTime import DateTime
 >>> a=DateTime('2000/08/20').pCommonZ()
 >>> b=DateTime('2000-08-20').pCommonZ()
 >>> c=DateTime('2000/08/20 GMT').pCommonZ()
 >>> d=DateTime('2000/08/20 GMT+0').pCommonZ()
 >>>
 >>> a
'Aug. 20, 2000 12:00 am GMT+1'
 >>> b
'Aug. 20, 2000 12:00 am GMT+0'
 >>> c
'Aug. 20, 2000 12:00 am GMT'
 >>> d
'Aug. 20, 2000 12:00 am GMT+0'
 >>>
 >>> b==c
0
 >>> b==d
1


Here, I'd expect b==c to evaluate as true.

Bug or feature?
