Python datetime object show wrong timezone offset

In the comments, someone proposes to use tzinfo.localize() instead of the datetime constructor, which does the trick.

>>> tz = timezone('Asia/Kolkata')
>>> dt = tz.localize(datetime.datetime(2011, 6, 20, 0, 0, 0, 0))
>>> dt
datetime.datetime(2011, 6, 20, 0, 0, tzinfo=<DstTzInfo 'Asia/Kolkata' IST+5:30:00 STD>)

UPDATE: Actually, the official pytz website states that you should always use localize or astimezone instead of passing a timezone object to datetime.datetime.
