[Python-Dev] Stdlib and timezones, again

[Nick Coghlan]

Reminder to everyone: the current state of the art for getting up to
date tz info for Python is "pip install pytz".

If any proposal is more complicated than that, there's absolutely no
point in changing anything. The version I liked best so far is for
Python to just install a copy of pytz automatically (shipping it in
the installer rather than downloading it). OS packagers would then
take it out (replacing it with a dependency on a pytz emulator that
used the system database instead).

Cheers,
Nick.
