The patch file i supplied can be applied to /lib/python/DateTime/DateTime.py
If you don't have the unix tool 'patch', you could add the lines manually, at 
the lines mentioned at the top of the patch file.  This is, i should have 
mentioned, made against zope 2.1.6

From a quick perusal of the source code, it looks like there is no GMT+0530 
supported currently, nor does the word "india" appear, except in the word 
'Indiana'.  A minor oversight, I'm sure.

If you are feeling brave, you could try adding your timezone to the _zlst 
array, at about line 163 in DateTime.py, then restart ZOPE.
