[mythtv] MacOS python3.9+ IANA Time Zone Support

[Roland Ernst]

Hi,
I kindly ask about the status of macoOs python 3.9+ and the support for
IANA time zones:
see https://docs.python.org/3/library/zoneinfo.html

My question is about recognizing the local time zone if given as
'localtime' parameter.
What does the following sequence show:

$ python3
>>> from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> localtz = ZoneInfo('localtime')
>>> now = datetime.now(localtz)
>>> now.tzname()
'CET'
>>> now.tzinfo
zoneinfo.ZoneInfo(key='localtime')

This should report the name of the the current time zone (in my case 'CET')
and the current
usage of  pythons 'tzinfo' parameter.

My plan is to update the Mythtv's python bindings in that direction.

Roland
