Although it is not present in ANSI C, the GNU version of stftime supports the conversion character %z, which is a time offset from GMT. The four digit time offset is required in RFC 2822 dates/times, and is used by a number of other programs as well. I need to convert times that use this convention to python time representations, and because Python does not support the %z time conversion character I cannot simply use the time.strptime function.
What solutions have people used for this? I'm currently thinking of creating a dict that maps four digit time offsets to the time zone name and then use the %Z token on that. Is there another (or better) way? -- Evan Klitzke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
