Hi,
I think i can use Europe time zone as current local time :
import datetime as dt
>>> import pytz
>>> utc = pytz.timezone("UTC")
>>> norway = pytz.timezone("Europe/Norway")
>>> a = dt.datetime(2008, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, tzinfo=utc)
>>> b = a.astimezone(norway)
i think this will provide me correct current local time when clock is changed...
