I was more thinking of basic stuff like the UTC, FixedOffset and 
LocalTimezone classes from the library reference:

     http://docs.python.org/lib/datetime-tzinfo.html

I just wrote a small RSS generator; it took more more time to sort out 
how to get strftime("%z") to print something meaningful than it took to 
write the rest of the code.

would anyone mind if I added the above classes to the datetime module ?
