#127 dateTime objects must be timezone-aware

[Peter A. Bigot]

Per http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime, all XML timezoned values are in UTC. To prevent confusion with Python, which has a concept of "naive" date/time values for which zone information is unavailable, PyXB should enforce the presence of a tzinfo field with zero minute offset in all timezoned instances.

[Peter A. Bigot]

• status changed from new to closed
• resolution set to invalid

That was a misinterpretation: true that all timezoned instances are in UTC, but XML still recognizes non-timezoned times that correspond nicely to Python's naive times.

[Peter A. Bigot]

• status changed from closed to reopened
• resolution invalid deleted

Yes, it should be enforced in all timezoned instances, and the non-timezoned instances left with no tzinfo field.

[Peter A. Bigot]

• status changed from reopened to closed
• resolution set to fixed

trac/127: dateTime objects must be timezone-aware

Eliminate hasTimeZone in favor of a non-None tzinfo field in the underlying
datetime instance. The tzinfo instance should always be zero-offset from
UTC.
