I've just read
BBC: Samoa and Tokelau skip a day for dateline change, 30.12.2011
I wanted to see this with pytz
, but everything I tried only showed an offset of -11, but not of +13 or +14:
>>> import pytz
>>> tz = pytz.timezone('Pacific/Samoa')
>>> tz_us = pytz.timezone('US/Samoa')
>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime(2011, 12, 30, 9, 00, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc).astimezone(tz).isoformat()
'2011-12-29T22:00:00-11:00'
>>> datetime.datetime(2011, 12, 30, 10,00, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc).astimezone(tz).isoformat()
'2011-12-29T23:00:00-11:00'
>>> datetime.datetime(2011, 12, 30, 11, 00, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc).astimezone(tz).isoformat()
'2011-12-30T00:00:00-11:00'
>>> datetime.datetime(2011, 12, 31, 15, 00, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc).astimezone(tz).isoformat()
'2011-12-31T04:00:00-11:00'
>>> datetime.datetime(2015, 12, 31, 15, 00, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc).astimezone(tz).isoformat()
'2015-12-31T04:00:00-11:00'
>>> datetime.datetime(2011, 12, 31, 15, 00, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc).astimezone(tz_us).isoformat()
'2011-12-31T04:00:00-11:00'
>>> datetime.datetime(2015, 12, 31, 15, 00, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc).astimezone(tz_us).isoformat()
'2015-12-31T04:00:00-11:00'
Why can't I see the offset +13 / +14?
