A version of the python-datetime module which deeply cares about timezone (instead of ignoring the problem). The module automatically detects your current timezone using a variety of different methods.

The module also includes extra functionality;

• Full integration with pytz (just give it the string of the timezone!)
• Proper support for going to/from Unix timestamps (which are in UTC!).
• Smart Parsing which attempts to accept all formats.

This module depends on:

• pytz - For providing the Timezone database.
• dateutil - For providing parsing of many common formats.

For development:

• PyLint - Needed for checking for link.
• defusedxml - Needed for building windows mapping file.
