A basic question

Hello,

I have a python script in my zope instance:

dt=DateTime(2012,1)
print dt
print dt.strftime('%Y')
print dt.year()

return printed
2012/01/01 00:00:00 GMT+2
2011
2012

Why do I get two different values for the year (2011, 2012)?

Thank you,

Giampiero

It would seem strftime defaults to a timezone "to the left" of GMT+2.

strftime converts to UTC
