[Zope] Time Zone question

[Graham King]

Thanks Florent.

if this has puzzled anyone else....

We changed the zLOG.py script, and Lo! logging is now in localtime.
A quick scan through various python script directories shows time functions
are all hardcoded as "time.gmtime". Obviously to be consistent, all scripts
would have to be modified to "time.localtime", else yur zope envt would be
in a right mess. 

I think someone raised the request prior to 2.4.3 (ie, "Could it be included
in 2.4.3?"). 

One solution of course is to set your machine's "GMT" as the actual local
time, and then not need a timezone setting. In our case, all our machines
are NTP sync'ed, so we're stuck with GMT.

cheers
Graham

If you really want to change this, change the log_time function in
zLog.py to use localtime instead of gmtime.
