Actually, there is some kind of symbolic time zone support via the pytz module. If the pytz module is installed, you can provide the time zone as a symbolic name. I don't know if it follows the DST changes. I would suggest that someone enter a feature request in the meta tracker, http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/, and we can take a look. > > See > > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=818711&group_id=31577&atid=402791 Might be outdated. Could be a case of "sourceforge tracker is so hard to use that you really don't want to use it". Yeah, it's kind of ironic that roundup isn't running a roundup tracker..
