Bug Description
lp:148307, "tzinfo utcoffset(), dst() & tzname() methods ignore arguments" was mareked 'wontfix' on 2008-04-22. However, the behavior has recently changed to do as the original report requested (see attached diff), which is breaking the Zope2 DateTime package (see lp:572715). At the moment, DateTime pins its dependency 'pytz <= 2010b', due to this breakage.
To post a comment you must log in.
Recipe for reproducing failure:
$ svn co http:// svn.zope. org/repos/ main/DateTime/ trunk
...
$ vim setup.py # remove pin of 'pytz <= 2010b', leaving just 'pytz'
$ /path/to/python bootstrap.py
...
$ bin/buildout
...
$ bin/test --all
which yields a ton of failures.
