Introduction

This module allows complex timezone operations in domains mimicing python's pytz. The heavy lifting is done by http://momentjs.com/timezone.

It is meant to allow correct filters for 'Today', 'Yesterday' etc.

In addition to implementing a subset of pytz.tzinfo and datetime.astimezone, there's a shortcut called utc_today() which returns the beginning of the day in the current user's time zone translated to UTC, this is equivalent to:

pytz.timezone(tz).localize(datetime.datetime.now().replace(hour=0, minute=0,
    second=0)).astimezone(pytz.utc)

in python.

Usage

Depend on this module and use filters like:

[('write_date', '>=', utc_today().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))]

which displays records changed in the user's conception of today.
