  Description     : tzinfo object for the local timezone

  This Python module returns a `tzinfo` object with the local timezone
  information. It requires `pytz`, and returns `pytz` `tzinfo` objects.
   
  This module attempts to fix a glaring hole in `pytz`, that there is no way
  to get the local timezone information, unless you know the zoneinfo name,
  and under several Linux distros that's hard or impossible to figure out.
   
  With `tzlocal` you only need to call `get_localzone()` and you will get a
  `tzinfo` object with the local time zone info. 
  
I plan to maintain this package as part of the Debian Python Modules Team.
