R. David Murray added the comment: I think its existing behavior is because it doesn't have access to a list of recognized timezones. As you say, this could be fixed by PEP 431. It could also be fixed by adopting the "email standard" timezones (see email/_parseaddr.py), which is a def-facto standard.
Regardless of whether something is done to expand the number of timezone it knows about, though, there's a current doc bug that should be fixed. If someone wants to advocate for expanding the timezone list, that should be a separate issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22377> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
