Add timezone option
martinbra opened this issue · comments
Created from chubin/wttr.in#56
To correctly show delta time to last and next phase, and the correct phase at the days when there's a phase change, a timezone option is needed.
A small addition:
Timezone must specified in the standard format understandable by pytz, e.g. Europe/London,
to that this could work:
pytz.timezone(tiimezone_description)
It should return a short error message for unknown timezones
@chubin : What is your timezone/UTC offset? I'm at America/Sao_Paulo (UTC-03) and it looks like that pyphoon is indeed using my local time when displaying the next moon phases (well, a few minutes off comparing to this site).

Timezone option added to my branch with a simple display of provided timezone (or UTC by default) if you want to check error messages and/or give suggestions.
Timezone is still not being used.
self-reminder: take a look at negative time at http://wttr.in/moon@2020-08-19
@martinbra Martin, I am going through old issues: do we have something to do here?
Yes we (I) do. I'm sorry to have left this issue frozen.
I think something is broken here (just reproduced):
Do you see the negative time? What could be causing it?
As for the timezone option, I know I have advanced something in my fork, but I'm not sure if I pushed everything to github. I'll have a look.
