It seems you haven't been following this discussion.  The issue is not
how to get information about timezones.  The issue is, given an API
that implements an almost-but-not-quite-reversible function from local
time to UTC, how to invert that function.

Please go read the datetime Wiki before commenting further in this
thread.
