[Pypgsql-users] Curious Win32 timestamp shift

[Kingsley <kr...@kr...>]

Hi-ho,

I'm using PyPgSQL against a table that has a 'timestamp' type
field.  Under Linux I have no problems, but when results are
returned from the database under win32, they are shifted by +10 hours
(This is also happens to be my timezone.)  I have not applied a
timezone to the timestamp-type field.  Interestingly, they are
being stored correctly, just not retrieved properly.

The times in the database are indeed stored in UTC, but PyPgSQL doesn't
know this ;)

Any suggestions as to why this should happen only under Windows?
How about hints on how to fix it?

I could always kludge in an:
	timestamp - interval '-36000 seconds'
Type fix, but that's very dodgey.
(even if the timeshift is from time.timezone)

The timezone is set under windows, as it is under Linux.
(GMT+10 / Sydney, NSW)

I'm using "pyPgSQL-pre2.5-20050926.win32-py2.4.exe"
as the latest version crashes my (py2exe) exe, during "import pyPgSQL".

thanks,
