pytz for Python 3. And 2.6!

I ported pytz to Python 3, as I needed time zones, and dateutil broke 2to3, and I didn’t feel like debugging that issue. Porting pytz was quite quick, took only a couple of hours to sort out the problems, and as a bonus I was able to make it run under both 2.6 and 3.0 [...]

Before the final release of Plone4ArtistsCalendar 2.0 it is quite likely that we’ll use only [...]

Thanks for the testing help + conclusions.

Last friday I asked you all for help with testing a thing. I got over 60 answers, thanks a lot for that! I have been able to draw a good set of conclusions. What was it all about? Well, the test was to see if it is possible to figure out what time zone you [...]

Python and time zones part 2: The beast returns!

Updated: I’ve added step 3 ½ and 3 ¾.
Updated: More on MS Windows.
In my previous post on Python and time zones. I explained five problems with time zones in general and Python support for them in particular, and how I succeeded in solving four of them, and ignoring the fifth. But I also mentioned [...]
