Datetime API: No atomic way to get "aware" current local datetime when moving between time zones

When developing an application, I don’t know what timezone the user may be in, so I can’t explicitly set a tzinfo value based on zone names.

As discussed in the other thread, getting timezone is possible, with its caveats, but working with time is not a purely technical challenge.

Get now() with local system timezone without knowing the timezone first

Does: >>> import time >>> time.tzname ('Pacific Standard Time', 'Pacific Daylight Time') Work for getting ‘my timezone’?
