FW: [Zope] Zope Time Problem

[Mohan Baro]

I give up.

Here is what I have done to fix the problem for now.

I have used

<dtml-var "ZopeTime().toZone('GMT-5').strftime('%H:%M')">
Instead of
<dtml-var "ZopeTime().toZone('Jamaica').strftime('%H:%M')">

I feel that Zope's DateTimeZone.py might have 'Jamaica' in the wrong time
zone or daylight saving ???

Here is what I found out.

Aparently Jamaica is not timezone for Windows 2000 Server, so the server
has -5:00 GMT/US/Eastern(No Daylight Savings Time)

<dtml-var "ZopeTime()">   gives me 2001/04/04 21:00:00.765 US/Eastern

<dtml-var "ZopeTime().strftime('%H:%M')">  gives me say 22:00

<dtml-var "ZopeTime().toZone('Jamaica').strftime('%H:%M')"> also gives me
22:00

In my forms I use the .strftime() function.

Any idea what's happening here.
Why does using .strftime() give an extra hour??

You might check /lib/python/DateTime/DateTime.py  The TZ, cdt was
set to GMT-2 and when we went to DST in the US/Central TZ many of
us lost a couple of hours. <s>

Maybe that was 'supposed' to be another TZ??? But it was detected
as US Central Daylight Time.
