Example of daylight savings time?

[Merlin04]

Hi, I'm a bit confused about how I'd create a Timezone that accounts for daylight savings time - could you provide an example?

Hi,

if you want the timezone of your local machine, including possible DST, link with the timmy.clock library and use Clock.timezone_local. You'll need to pick the correct implementation in the final executable, that is timmy-unix.clock on desktop and timmy-jsoo.clock in javascript.

The idea of the clock library is that Timmy only contains generic algorithms on dates and times, and clock provides anything platform specific and environment dependent.

If you want another timezone with DST, you must use Timezone.of_implementation and provide a way to compute the DST offset at any timepoint or datetime. The rationale for not providing this is that it would require a large database of all existing timezone and DST on earth, which may become obsolete at any point. Timmy does not provide specific timezone per se, timmy.clock provides the local timezone of your machine, another package could provide all potential timezone on earth. If you need all timezones, maybe take a look at Timere. If you only need the local timezone, timmy.clock will do the deed.
