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 8827d0c338 Replaced the flawed "local time" example tzinfo class with the guts
of Guido's later Local.py (from the datetime sandbox).

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.

Skip Montanaro 4abd5f0fce Allow list sort's comparison function to explicitly be None. See SF patch
661092.

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

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).
