[New-bugs-announce] [issue31327] bug in dateutil\tz\tz.py

[Jerry Kramskoy]

New submission from Jerry Kramskoy:

Running python 3.6.2 on Windows 10.

The following method causes presents a timetstamp value of -3600 (i.e. DST adjustment of one hour) which causes time.localtime() to raise an OS Errno 22.


    def _naive_is_dst(self, dt):
        timestamp = _datetime_to_timestamp(dt)
        return time.localtime(timestamp + time.timezone).tm_isdst



Reproduce with python shell...

import time
z=time.localtime(-3600)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  Python Shell, prompt 7, line 1
builtins.OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument



The documentation doesn't specify a legal value range for input to localtime.


Unfortunately,this causes AWS boto3 support for dynamodb to crash.

Cheers, Jerry
