pytz - World Timezone Definitions for Python

Author: Stuart Bishop stuart@stuartbishop.net

Introduction

pytz brings the Olson tz database into Python. This Python library allows accurate and cross platform timezone calculations using Python 2.4 or higher. It also solves the issue of ambiguous times at the end of daylight saving time, which you can read more about in the Python Library Reference (datetime.tzinfo).
