*However*, doesn't Windows have its own system database? The problem is that in order to not include the olsen database, pytz (which would be a very useful addition to the standard library) would need to be modified to use the system database on Windows. This is my (potentially flawed) understanding, anyway.

May you do good and not evil
May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others
May you share freely, never taking more than you give.
