[Zope] Comparing two dates WITH time?

[Nils Jeppe]

Hello Gregor,

Thanks for the reply. If I read this bug correctly, though, it means the
time is off by one hour. I checked and all my date/time objects get stored
as gmt+1 (which of course is indeed wrong), however, shouldn't the
comparison of the two variables succeed anyway?


Best wishes,
Nils
