The problem is d.toZone(d.timezone()) is not the same to d:

>>> d = DateTime
>>> d
DateTime('2004/10/26 08:20:20.410 GMT-8')
>>> d.toZone(d.timezone())
DateTime('2004/10/25 16:20:20.410 GMT-8')

This is because GMT-8 means the GMT +0800 timezone, but not GMT -0800 timezone under linux. But DateTime module difines GMT+8 means the GMT +0800 timezone.

You can use date command under linux:

# date -u
Tue Oct 26 00:31:32 UTC 2004
# date
Tue Oct 26 08:31:25 GMT-8 2004
