[Python-il] Asia/Jerusalem broken in pytz

[Shai Berger]

Hi,

We recently found out that there's a problem with the definition of the
Asia/Jerusalem timezone in pytz. For some reason, pytz prefers, for current
dates and time, the definition which the Olson database claims was in force
until 1918 -- which is GMT+2:21 (well, actually, GMT+2:20:40, but pytz rounds
it to a whole minute because of a Python datetime limitation).

2:21. I kid you not.

For reference: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pytz/+bug/1284592

Have fun,
Shai.
