Comment on Python Enhancement Proposal 495: Local Time Disambiguationparent

Comments

But once again this is one of those "assumptions about time that everyone gets wrong" just because we shift timezones in Britian doesn't necessarily mean that people in other countries do the same - they might just change what the timezone offset is and keep the timezone the same.

Well, for a proposed change I'd like to see examples of the actual problem caused. The only example I can see is EST and EDT, which seems to be the same as the UK doing GMT->BST. Same for Andorra.

My question wasn't rhetorical, I was actually asking if there were places that don't do this.
