Tim Peters 003720235b Massive fiddling to reflect that datetimetz and timetz no longer exist.
WARNING:  It would be a minor miracle if the LaTeX stuff still worked.

s/field/member/ generally everywhere, to conform with most other usage in
the docs.

s/daylight savings time/daylight saving time/ generally everywhere,
because the latter spelling is anally correct.

Tim Peters 75a6e3bd1a datetime_from_timet_and_us(): ignore leap seconds if the platform
localtime()/gmtime() insists on delivering them, + associated doc
changes.

Redid the docs for datetimtez.astimezone().
2003-01-04 18:17:36 +00:00
Tim Peters adf642038e A new implementation of astimezone() that does what we agreed on in all
cases, plus even tougher tests of that.  This implementation follows
the correctness proof very closely, and should also be quicker (yes,
I wrote the proof before the code, and the code proves the proof <wink>).

Tim Peters 397301eccb The tzinfo methods utcoffset() and dst() must return a timedelta object
(or None) now.  In 2.3a1 they could also return an int or long, but that
was an unhelpfully redundant leftover from an earlier version wherein
they couldn't return a timedelta.  TOOWTDI.
2003-01-02 21:28:08 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 4abd5f0fce Allow list sort's comparison function to explicitly be None. See SF patch

Tim Peters 710fb1548a astimezone() internals: if utcoffset() returns a duration, complain if
dst() returns None (instead of treating that as 0).

2003-01-02 04:54:04 +00:00
Tim Peters f36151556f A quicker astimezone() implementation, rehabilitating an earlier
suggestion from Guido, along with a formal correctness proof of the
trickiest bit.  The intricacy of the proof reveals how delicate this
is, but also how robust the conclusion:  correctness doesn't rely on
dst() returning +- one hour (not all real time zones do!), it only
relies on:

1. That dst() returns a (any) non-zero value if and only if daylight
   time is in effect.

and

2. That the tzinfo subclass implements a consistent notion of time zone.

The meaning of "consistent" was a hidden assumption, which is now an
explicit requirement in the docs.  Alas, it's an unverifiable (by the
datetime implementation) requirement, but so it goes.

Fred Drake e2c649126e Further cleanup of exceptions. All interpolation-related exceptions
now derive from InterpolationError, which is not raised directly (only
subclasses get raised).  This matches what the docs already said.

Tim Peters 9532298c82 Removed the now-untrue (or soon-to-be untrue) part of the astimezone()
docs.  Replaced it with an XXX block, because the hoped-for treatment
of DST endcases remains unclear (Guido doesn't really like raising an
exception when it's impossible to deliver a correct result, but so
far I have no way in hand to consistently deliver a defined incorrect
result either).

2002-12-30 21:26:42 +00:00
Tim Peters bad8ff089a A step on the way to making tzinfo classes writable by mortals: get rid
of the timetz case.  A tzinfo method will always see a datetimetz arg,
or None, now.  In the former case, it's still possible that it will get
a datetimetz argument belonging to a different timezone.  That will get
fixed next.
