DateTime.py and datetime/__init__.py patch for Australian CST and EST timezones Edit (1.7 KiB, text/plain)

CST Bug

This problem has been a long running Issue. With the help of Dixond on the plone irc chat we have resolved the issue that was effecting us in Adelaide Australia.

None of the other fixes noted elsewhere worked

The issue stems form both CST and EST being hard coded into the datetime module.

I do not know why that was done, perhaps the attached patch may break some installs but for us it meant we now get the correct date being reported when we use plone

with the patch installed our installation now reports the correct time. I havent checked other timezones and we are currently in DST. I haven't yet checked normal time.

We did not require the addition of the TZ environment variable as noted elsewhere. It did not work anyway.
