Hi all!

I live in Brazil, and since last 2020 our government has been cancelling the Daylight Savings Time that was traditional in the country.

Problem is, now every visitor I get from Brazil that access my website hosted on PythonAnywhere, receives datetime information with a -1 hour difference. The possible solution to this seems to be updating the timezone information on an OS level (by running apt-get install tzdata, then dpkg-reconfigure tzdata, which gets the new and updated timezone info from the repos), but... it seems like we don't have root /sudo permission on the servers, right?

Do you know if there is any other solution or workaround to this situation, or if someone from PythonAnywhere team can update the timezone info on a system level?

Best regards, Mauricio

It will happen with the next system image that we are preparing.

Good to know, thanks! Any estimate date for when it will go live? And when it happens, will I need to take any action, or will it be transparently updated?

Many thanks in advance!

No estimates, but we work on that.
