Summary: Timezone Problem

Initial Comment:
I've been wrestling with the timezone module in pywin32 for several of days and was wondering if any one here might know how to solve the following Keyword: 'Std' error.

I've looked at the code and double checked my system registry and there is an entry for Std in each of the timezones in the hive.

Here is a listing from PythonWin and what can be done to repeat the failure:

PythonWin 3.0.1 (r301:69561, Feb 13 2009, 20:04:18) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.

Message:
For me also, I'm unable to reproduce. The error suggests that there is a
non-standard key in the registry in the time zone definitions. I'm going to
close this ticket as we're unable to reproduce.

If this is still a problem, please re-open the ticket (or add a comment).
Please also run this command and attach the resulting tz.reg file:

reg export "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones"
tz.reg

I will analyze the file and determine if the failure is something that we
can correct against.

I can't reproduce this, but I've assigned it to Jason who might have some
insights (and sorry for the delay!)
