The information returned by time.timezone and time.strftime('%z') are different! I get the following results: [simon@simon ~]$ date +%z +0200 [simon@simon ~]$ date +%Z CEST [simon@simon ~]$ python Python 2.4.2 (#1, Feb 12 2006, 03:45:41) [GCC 4.1.0 20060210 (Red Hat 4.1.0-0.24)] on linux2 [...] >>> time.timezone -3600 >>> time.strftime('%z') '+0200' Please correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't "time.timezone" return -7200 ?

Logged In: YES user_id=849994 time.timezone is documented to return the offset for the current non-DST timezone. Your timezone is CEST, which is CET (+0100) plus DST, which is indicated by time.daylight being nonzero.
