README

An implementation of the IANA zoneinfo data matching the python datetime.tzinfo
interface. Generated from the data located here:

http://www.iana.org/time-zones

The code which created this file can be found here:

KNOWN ISSUES:
A few rules are inconsistantly provided in UTC times, which means that they may
be inaccurate for a few hours around DST boundaries.

Creating datetime objects from times that should't exist because of the
boundary of DST rules(for example, 2:30 am on Nov 6, 2011) will not throw any
errors.

datetime.time behavior:
The rules for the current date/time will be applied to datetime.time objects
when calculating the UTC offset.

Example Usage:
>>>
>>> import zoneinfo
>>> from datetime import datetime, time
>>> datetime.now(zoneinfo.timezones['US/Mountain']).time().isoformat()
'20:37:03.776597'
>>> datetime.now(zoneinfo.timezones['US/Mountain']).isoformat()
'2012-02-15T20:37:13.730864-07:00'
>>> time(20, 37, tzinfo=zoneinfo.timezones['US/Mountain']).isoformat()
'20:37:00-07:00'
>>> 
>>> mst = zoneinfo.timezones['US/Mountain']
>>> pst = zoneinfo.timezones['US/Pacific']
>>> dt = datetime(2011, 7, 4, 0, 0, tzinfo=mst)
>>> dt
datetime.datetime(2011, 7, 4, 0, 0, tzinfo=<zoneinfo.America_Denver object at 0x76b17d0>)
>>> dt.utcoffset()
datetime.timedelta(-1, 57600)
>>> dtp = dt.astimezone(pst)
>>> dtp
datetime.datetime(2011, 7, 3, 23, 0, tzinfo=<zoneinfo.America_Los_Angeles object at 0x76b2ad0>)
