IANA timezones for adafruit_datetime

Build
=====

To regenerate the timezone database files in `tzdb/_zones <./tzdb/_zones>`_

#. Create a python>=3.9 environment: ``python3.9 -m venv .venv``
#. Activate the environment: ``source .venv/bin/activate``
#. Install dependencies: ``pip install -r requirements.txt``
#. And run the ``utils/generate_tz_db.py`` script: ``./utils/generate_tz_db.py``

This creates a python file in `_zones <./tzdb/_zones>`_ for each timezone.
These files each contain a dictionary that maps names to utc offsets throughout
the year using python3.9's `ZoneInfo <https://docs.python.org/3/library/zoneinfo.html>`_

This file is included in this repository/package and is current as of 2022-05-22

See `tzdb/_timezone.py <./tzdb/_timezone.py>`_ for details on how it's used


Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:

* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>`_
or individual libraries can be installed using
`circup <https://github.com/adafruit/circup>`_.

Installing from PyPI
=====================
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/circuitpython-tzdb/>`_.
To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install circuitpython-tzdb

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install circuitpython-tzdb

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

    mkdir project-name && cd project-name
    python3 -m venv .env
    source .env/bin/activate
    pip3 install circuitpython-tzdb



Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup
==========================================================

Make sure that you have ``circup`` installed in your Python environment.
Install it with the following command if necessary:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install circup

With ``circup`` installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the
following command to install:

.. code-block:: shell

    circup install tzdb

Or the following command to update an existing version:

.. code-block:: shell

    circup update

Usage Example
=============

.. code-block:: python3
