datetime in gmt zone = timezoneNaive?

[johannes raggam]

hi all,

i'm not sure if it's an issue or not, but i guess it is:

in a plone 4.1 / datetime 2.12.6 based installation, an event's start
date gives
   obj.timezoneNaive()==True
even when
   obj.timezone()=='GMT+2'
and
   obj.timezoneOffset()=='7200'

is that intentional? normally i would expect that
obj.timezoneNaive()==False in that case - even if GMT+2 isn't a good
zone, because no daylight-saving-changes can be calculated from that
information.

cheers,
hannes

i guess, this behavior has something to do, how the datetime instance is
constructed by archetypes.

another thing: DateTime(obj.startDate) returns a copy, but
DateTime(obj.startDate).timezoneNaive() is None, which shouldn't IMO....

while this statement asserts to True
DateTime(obj.startDate) == obj.startDate
what's totally ok IMO, since microseconds since epoch are compared and
those have the timezone offset included.

cheers,hannes

DateTime has two distinct concepts: being timezone naive and having a
timezone set.

This allows you to have DateTime object which is both timezone naive
and has a timezone at the same time. This doesn't make any sense, but
it's the way the API's evolved over time.

Yvo Schubbe (yuppie) showed interest in fixing this for DateTime 3 -
if you want to help him, please do ;)
