DateTime() returns a wrong DateTime object when local time zone offset from GMT is not an integer. Like for a local time zone GMT+05.30, DateTime() object is returning an DateTime object where time zone offset is set to GMT+5 - this is resulting 30 minutes of difference when we are translating the current time to some other time zope. 

It seems the problem is in constructor (init() method) of DateTime class.

The problem remains in 2.5+ versions as well like 2.6, 2.7 etc.
