Re: [pysolar-discuss] Two questions

[Brandon Stafford <brandon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jan,

Pysolar used to expect all time information in UTC (release 0.6 and
earlier). Since then, Pysolar now expects you to supply a timezone-aware
datetime, rather than a naive datetime in UTC. If your results seem crazy,
this is probably why.

Cheers,
Brandon
