40    While the standard formlib datetime widget makes use of
41    zope.datetime and creates also not too reliable (or ambigous)
42    datetimes based on local servertime, this widget provides
43    non-ambigous UTC datetimes with a pytz timezone (pytz.utc).
44
45    Using this widget for datetime data we always get clean UTC
46    datetimes compatible with other Python packages (as pytz is more
47    wide-spread than zope.datetime).
48
49    For datetimes in other timezones we compute the correct UTC value
50    and store this. A way to help making sure, only UTC-based values
51    go into the DB.
52
53    For datetimes without any timezone set, we interpret the input to
54    be meant as local app-time. I.e. if application TZ is
55    ``Africa/Lagos``, we assume that a string like '2012-02-01 12:13'
56    (apparently not providing TZ info) was meant as 12:13 h Lagos
57    time.
58
59    From zope.datetime, however, we save the parser abilities to
60    interpret even bizarre entered data as some datetime.
