[Phyo Arkar Lwin]

New submission from Phyo Arkar Lwin <phyo.arkarlwin at gmail.com>:

DESCRIPTION:

I am trying to parse Time Zone information out of email messages and i found out that mktime_tz is totally ignoring TimeZone information from parsedate_tz.


VERSION: 2.6.5
CODE and RESULTS:


from time import mktime
from email.utils import parsedate,parsedate_tz,formatdate,mktime_tz

parsedate_tz('Sat, 10 Apr 2004 03:50:19 +400')
>>> (2004, 4, 10, 3, 50, 19, 0, 1, -1, 14400)


mktime_tz(parsedate_tz('Sat, 10 Apr 2004 03:50:19 +400'))
>>>1081554619.0
mktime(parsedate('Sat, 10 Apr 2004 03:50:19'))
>>>1081545619.0

Same????

formatdate(mktime_tz(parsedate_tz('Sat, 10 Apr 2004 03:50:19 +400')))
>>>'Fri, 09 Apr 2004 23:50:19 -0000' # WRONG TOTALLY

Expected Result:
>>>'Sat, 10 Apr 2004 03:50:19 +400'
