[Fedora-suds-list] Timezone-aware Datetime objects

[Jeff Ortel]

Hey Daniel,

Not sure I follow.  Suds converts received xs:datetime to a python datetime object that 
has been adjusted to the local timezone.  When sending a datetime, it is sent with TZ 
offset.  Are you suggesting a suds /option/ that would return the xs:datetime in UTC 
instead of the local TZ?  Or, an options for suds to return a datetime object with tz_info 
set?

Thanks,

Jeff
