Sorry, but no. I'm not really a fan of the datetime module and
try to stay away from it whenever I can :-)
Note that dealing with DST in timezones other than the local time
zone, is bound to go wrong without direct access to the tz library.
The C lib doesn't provide any good way to access timezone
information other than the local timezone or UTC.
When dealing with date/time values, it is usually best to stay with
UTC and only transform those values into local times in user
interfaces on the front-end client.
Consequently, I'd suggest to only allow UTC and local timezone
conversions for the method in the datetime module.
