So make your rounding algorithm better ;-)

>>From what I can gather the Zope DateTime object is derived from the python mxDateTime module.  mxDatetime instances appear to have a 'dst' variable which tells you whether DST is active or not.  However, this variable does not seem to be present (or available) in a Zope DateTime instance :(

Nah, they don't have much to do with one another...
