PosixTimeZone 0.9.4

datetime tzinfo class to hook into the OS timezone libraries

PosixTimeZone is a tzinfo implementation for Python 2.3, using the
POSIX calls provided by many operating systems to handle timezone
calculations::
>>> from datetime import timedelta,datetime
>>> from PosixTimeZone import PosixTimeZone
>>> UTC = PosixTimeZone('UTC')
>>> Amsterdam = PosixTimeZone('Europe/Amsterdam')
>>> now = datetime.now(UTC)
>>> str(now)
'2003-01-30 07:01:07.885573+00:00'
>>> now.tzname()
'UTC'
>>> str(now.astimezone(Amsterdam))
'2003-01-30 08:01:07.885573+01:00'
>>> now.astimezone(Amsterdam).tzname()
'CET'
