| Import hook extending pytz package with usable, generic timezones: | |
| GMT-14 up to GMT+12. | |
| Note that pytz already has Etc/GMT+X timezones, but | |
| (quoting Wikipedia): | |
| "In order to conform with the POSIX style, those zones beginning with "Etc/GMT" | |
| have their sign reversed from what most people expect. In this style, | |
| zones west of GMT have a positive sign and those east have a negative sign." |
