  <title>pytz brings the Olson tz database into Python</title>
  <description>pytz brings the Olson tz database into Python. This library allows
accurate and cross platform timezone calculations using Python 2.3
or higher. It also solves the issue of ambiguous times at the end
of daylight savings, which you can read more about in the Python
Library Reference (``datetime.tzinfo``).

Amost all of the Olson timezones are supported.

Note that this library differs from the documented Python API for
tzinfo implementations; if you want to create local wallclock
times you need to use the ``localize()`` method documented in this
document. In addition, if you perform date arithmetic on local
times that cross DST boundaries, the results may be in an incorrect
timezone (ie. subtract 1 minute from 2002-10-27 1:00 EST and you get
2002-10-27 0:59 EST instead of the correct 2002-10-27 1:59 EDT). A
``normalize()`` method is provided to correct this. Unfortunatly these
issues cannot be resolved without modifying the Python datetime
implementation.</description>
