ISO with timezone

[nik]

Thanks,
that does help and now I have:

>>> from datetime import datetime, tzinfo, timedelta
>>> import time
>>> class TZ(tzinfo):
...    def utcoffset(self,dt): return timedelta(seconds=time.timezone)
...
>>> print datetime(2008,2,29,15,30,11,tzinfo=TZ()).isoformat()
2008-02-29T15:30:11+8:00


But what I want to know now it how to get the actual time into the
expression instead of typing the 2008,2,29,15....
So something like: >>> print
datetime(time.gmtime(),tzinfo=TZ()).isoformat(), but that doesn't
work.

I realize that I could do:
>>> t = time.gmtime()
>>> print datetime(t[0],t[1],t[2],t[3],t[4],t[5],tzinfo=TZ()).isoformat()

but I imagine there might be a cleaner way of doing this.

Thanks,
Nik
