Something in python's timezone handling needs to be
updated. Python does not take into account 'daylight saving' clock time
changes.

The thing is my clock time is correct. If you
ask anyone here for the time, they will tell you it's X. However, Python
believes (correct) current time is X + 1 hour. In fact, this is the case
most of the time, but because of 'daylight saving' measures, official
time has been changed. So, without a doubt, this needs to be fixed.

A solution could be adding the possibility to set a 'daylight saving'
option which helps dealing with this. So, if I set this option to 3600
secs, then Python could +/- this remainder to the, let's call it,
'expected current time' according to the timezone.
