Depends on what exactly do you want. If you need to convert timezone
name into current offset, you should use [1] or [2].
If you just need to handle known offsets for datetime objects, there
is tzinfo class in datetime module, [3].


[1] http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PosixTimeZone/0.9.4
[2] http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytz/2011g
