In theory, no. At work we still use the ancient Rogue Wave C++ libraries in a number of applications. It has hard-coded timezone info so when the US changed the start and end of daylight savings a few years ago we adapted by switching from US/Central to either CDT5 or CST6 for a week around each entry/exit. For those couple weeks our TZ environment variable is set to one of those two values. I could hard-code a similar exception in my Python code, but it also has to run in London and New York (at least). In the past we've had offices in Hawaii and Asia, so I'd really like it if my code was location-independent. Skip P.S. Thanks for the compliment on my nickname. My first name is actually George.
