I don't understand why Python may not include the pytz. The Olson tz database is not part of pytz.
Yes it is.
Python can depend on a system tz database
That works on Unix, but not on Windows, where there is no Olsen database.
*However*, doesn't Windows have its own system database? The problem is that in order to not include the olsen database, pytz (which would be a very useful addition to the standard library) would need to be modified to use the system database on Windows. This is my (potentially flawed) understanding, anyway. Michael
