If it's really just weekdays why not call it that instead of using a term like business days that (quite confusingly) suggests holidays are handled properly? Also, I view the timezone and holiday issues as totally seperate. I would definately NOT recommend basing holidays on a timezone because holidays are totally unrelated to timezones. Usually when you deal with holidays, because they vary by application and country and change over time, you provide a calendar as an outside input. That would be very useful if that were allowed, but might make the implementation rather complex. --Tom On 7/30/08, Francesc Alted <faltet@pytables.org> wrote:

When people are refering to busienss days are you talking about weekdays or are you saying weekday non-holidays?
Plain weekdays. Taking in account holidays for all the world round would be certainly much more complex than timezones, which neither are being considered in this proposal.
