>From the docs: "Some libraries use the TZ environment variable to control the time zone applied to date-time values. App Engine sets this environment variable to 'UTC'."

Proposed mktime() based code will still work in this case. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
