Package: python-tz
Version: svn 2074
The file tzfile.py is intended to be executable directly, which runs
some test cases by opening up the zoneinfo files. The Debian package
version of python-tz has the __init__.py file modified to use the
standard Debian zoneinfo files rather than the ones included with
pytz. This testing code, however, still tries to look that up in the
pytz local directory, and fails.
Attached is a patch (against the Subversion repository at
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-zope/python-tz/trunk) which fixes the
testing code to use the Debian zoneinfo files.
