I have the pytz package but it doesn't know about non-standard timezone names like "CDT5" or "CST6". I can obviously infer that they are either five or six hours behind UTC. Are they constructed in some standard way so that I can assume that if a timezone name is not known to pytz I can assume the trailing number represents the number of hours behind UTC? Is there some standard definition of the format of such semi-numeric timezone names?
