Given a lat, lon coordinate pair returns the appropriate timezone

gpstotz 0.2

Given a lat, lon coordinate pair returns the appropriate timezone. Basically a Python wrapper for Eric Muller's map of timezones (http://efele.net/maps/tz/world/).

Usage

from gpstotz import gpstotz
lat = 51.50
lon = 0.12
timezone = gpstotz.gpsToTimezone(lat, lon)

Timezone boundaries

The library follows the shapely convention that boundaries are not part of the object. Thus, a measurement on the boundary of a timezone polygon is not part of the timezone.

To-Do

• Add UTC-Offset
