I have wrangled with time display for years, and my solution is to store everything as a unix datestamp (time.time()). When the user logs in, use a bit of javascript to grab their time difference, and store it in the session. Then whenever you display a time, correct it by their session time difference. This isn't perfect - times are always correct according to the users current time, but if they look at a time prior to daylight savings, it is an hour out. But it works 99.9% of the time, no matter where the user is based. Email me off-group if you want an example of the javascript. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
