Paul Ganssle <p.gans...@gmail.com> added the comment: Ah, actually, my mistake, RFC 3339 most assuredly *does* require a UTC offset:
4.4. Unqualified Local Time A number of devices currently connected to the Internet run their internal clocks in local time and are unaware of UTC. While the Internet does have a tradition of accepting reality when creating specifications, this should not be done at the expense of interoperability. Since interpretation of an unqualified local time zone will fail in approximately 23/24 of the globe, the interoperability problems of unqualified local time are deemed unacceptable for the Internet. Systems that are configured with a local time, are unaware of the corresponding UTC offset, and depend on time synchronization with other Internet systems, MUST use a mechanism that ensures correct synchronization with UTC. Some suitable mechanisms are: This is not true of ISO 8601, but dropping all references to RFC 3339 or ISO 8601 is fine with me. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33400> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
