python-dateutil 1.2 released

python-dateutil version 1.2 has just been released.

It includes the following changes:

  • Now tzfile will round timezones to full-minutes if necessary, since Python’s datetime doesn’t support sub-minute offsets (reported by Ilpo Nyyssönen).
  • Removed bare string exceptions (reported and fixed by Wilfredo Sánchez Vega)
  • Fixed bug in leap count parsing (reported and fixed by Eugene Oden).

    Do you have the bug reports anywhere public? I’m curious about the leap count parsing bug…

    Hey Mike,

    Yes, at http://tracker.labix.org, but this wasn’t reported there, but by email some time ago. Even then, it’s a pretty simple issue, and I think that if you grab the source code from svn and check out the revision diff you’ll understand what it was about.
