| ======== |
| pytz has a severe performance problem that impedes its usage on Google App |
| Engine. This is caused because pytz.__init__ builds a list of available |
| zoneinfos checking the entire zoneinfo database (which means: it tries to open |
| hundreds of files). This is done in the module globals, so it is not easily |
| avoidable. And it is far from ideal to do this in App Engine - app |
| initialization becomes unacceptable if every time we import pytz it checks |
| 500+ files. |
| |
| In this alternative version, pytz is highly optimized for App Engine, following |
| ideas from several recipes around: |
| |
| - database files are not automatically reads when the module is imported |
| - the database files are loaded using zipimport to reduce number of files |
| - it uses memcache to cache already loaded zoneinfos |
| |
| This results in almost unnoticeable load time and makes pytz usable on App |
| Engine. |
