Hi David. pytz is a standard python package included in zope that can 
help you manage time zone issues. There are methods to represent time 
that is properly offset according to a large database of global 
timezones. This will help you present the view of time you wish to your 
application's users. Refer to the documentation in the package to give 
you an idea of what is possible.

Regards,
David
