Bug#1078475: ITP: python-tzdata -- provider of IANA time zone data

[Thomas Goirand <zigo@debian.org>]

Hi Ananthu,

I really believe that what you want is python-tz, and that you do not 
need python-tzdata. Have you tried to run the unit tests of pendulum 
with the python3-tz package installed instead?

Note that packages must *not* have their own timezone db, so if you 
upload python-tzdata as-is, not using the Debian tzdata package, then 
you'd be introducing a bug. The reason is very simple: there's multiple 
updates of the DB per Debian release, and we do *not* want to update 
multiple package (only tzdata itself) when this is needed.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
