'PST' timezone not recognized by pytz #16

Closed florisvb closed 11 years ago

florisvb commented 12 years ago

The h5 file seems to have have 'PST' as the timezone for me, but this is not recognized by pytz. Instead, use 'US/Pacific', which does work? This is more of a bug with pytz ('EST' and 'MST' both work, so 'PST' should), but perhaps we should be robust to that?

Did you ever get further with this? I'm tempted to call it a bug with pytz and out-of-scope for flydra.

I just "fixed" it by using 'US/Pacific' and moved on. Yes, it is a bug with pytz.

I'm actually still having some problems with this. I've set the timezone to 'US/Pacific' using 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' but pytz still reads the timezone as PST. Am I setting the timezone in the wrong place?

I'm pretty sure the only change I made was to add this line to result_utils.py:

DEFAULT_TZ = 'US/Pacific'

right after import pytz

Thanks. I have that line in result_utils.py but it still has this error. I changed mainbrain to use 'US/Pacific' for the h5s - not ideal but it seems to work.
