Bug#819126: ITP: tzlocal -- tzinfo object for the local timezone



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Brian May <bam@debian.org>

* Package name    : tzlocal
  Version         : 2.1
  Upstream Author : Lennart Regebro <regebro@gmail.com>
* URL             : https://github.com/regebro/tzlocal
* License         : CC0
  Programming Lang: Python2 and Python3
  Description     : tzinfo object for the local timezone

 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. On some Unices you will still not get to
 know what the timezone name is, but you don’t need that when you have the
 tzinfo file. However, if the timezone name is readily available it will be
 used.
 .
 This package contains the Python 2 module.

This is required for the latest version of apscheduler. I plan to
maintain it as part of the Debian Python Modules Team.
