I am running the following

>>> datetime.datetime.strptime("Jan 1 2017", "%b %d %Y").replace(tzinfo=timezone("US/Central")).strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z")
'2017-01-01T00:00:00-0551'

I would expect this to be at an offset of -0600, but it seems to be off by 9 minutes. Why is this timezone wrong and how do I get it to correct?

`pyzt`? Are you sure is not `pytz`? If it is `pytz`, what version? I can't reproduce on Python 3.5 and `pytz==2017.3` (and MacOS Sierra 10.12.6) – Savir Jan 02 '18 at 20:00

Probably you meant `pytz("US/Central")` instead of `timezone("US/Central")`? Also please add your imports too with your sample code, looks like somthing is off – Moinuddin Quadri Jan 02 '18 at 20:04

@MoinuddinQuadri The pytz docs say to use timezone. When I try pytz it crashes. – steventnorris Jan 02 '18 at 20:08
