win32timezone.TimeZoneInfo Object

Main class for handling Windows time zones. Usage: TimeZoneInfo(<Time Zone Standard Name>, [<Fix Standard Time>])

Comments

If <Fix Standard Time> evaluates to True, daylight savings time is calculated in the same way as standard time.

>>> tzi = TimeZoneInfo('Pacific Standard Time')

>>> march31 = datetime.datetime(2000,3,31)

We know that time zone definitions haven't changed from 2007 to 2012, so regardless of whether dynamic info is available, there should be consistent results for these years.

>>> subsequent_years = [march31.replace(year=year)

...     for year in range(2007, 2013)]

>>> offsets = set(tzi.utcoffset(year) for year in subsequent_years)

>>> len(offsets)
