[issue2623] Patch: xmlrpclib client ignores datetime tzinfo when creating iso8601 dates

[Leonard Clark]

New submission from Leonard Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

xmlrpclib ignores datetime parameter timezone information.  Two spots
were identified to apply a new formatting function, _iso8601format, to
ensure that the timezone is passed to the server.

I would like this fix to be included in future releases. (Thank you!)

[issue2623] Patch: xmlrpclib client ignores datetime tzinfo when creating iso8601 dates

Leonard Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

While the XML-RPC spec is vague with regards to respecting time zone
information, the iso8601 document is not vague as to how to properly
serialize it.

Some XML-RPC libraries (like ours) completely ignore time zone
information.  I will make every effort to test this against as many
libraries as I can.

While I'm at it, I'll see about adding support for time zone information
in server results.
