+This Python module returns a tzinfo object with the local timezone
+information under Unix and Win-32. It requires pytz, and returns
+pytz tzinfo objects.
+This module attempts to fix a glaring hole in pytz, that there is
+no way to get the local timezone information, unless you know the
+zoneinfo name, and under several Linux distros that's hard or
+impossible to figure out.
