different time tuple format

[Maksim Kasimov]

seems like it is not a platform specific,
i think to solve the problem i need put settings in order (in php it is php.ini file) thus i'll have a portable code.
i've check the following code on my various servers, and it gives me different results:

import time
time.tzname
time.daylight
time.strptime("2005-06-07 15:07:12", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
time.strptime("2005-06-07 15:07:12 EEST", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z")




Python 2.3.3 (#1, Feb 28 2004, 20:35:22)
[GCC 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]] on freebsd4
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import time
 >>> time.tzname
('EET', 'EEST')
 >>> time.daylight
1
 >>> time.strptime("2005-06-07 15:07:12", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
(2005, 6, 7, 15, 7, 12, 1, 158, -1)
 >>> time.strptime("2005-06-07 15:07:12 EEST", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z")
(2005, 6, 7, 15, 7, 12, 1, 158, 1)



Python 2.2.3 (#1, Oct 22 2004, 03:10:44)
[GCC 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]] on freebsd4
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import time
 >>> time.tzname
('EET', 'EEST')
 >>> time.daylight
1
 >>> time.strptime("2005-06-07 15:07:12", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
(2005, 6, 7, 15, 7, 12, 6, 1, 0)
 >>> time.strptime("2005-06-07 15:07:12 EEST", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z")
(2005, 6, 7, 15, 7, 12, 6, 1, 1)
