In the pytz Python library, I provide a list of common time zones. This list can be used to generate lists of available time zones for a user to select from.
I'm currently generating this list simply by taking all timezones and removing: - Those listed in the backwards file - Those that have a single path component except GMT and UTC - Those that start with Etc/ - Those that start with SystemV/
This still leaves some false positives though, such as US/Pacific-New.
I would suggest also to remove the US/ and Canada/ ones... afaik they should not really be used anymore. regards, Derick -- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl | http://ez.no | http://xdebug.org
