Scheduling morning emails with Python and Celery

getTimezoneOffset() would return the value after taking care of DST. So there shouldn't be any DST related inconsistencies. Now if the user moves to another timezone, and never hits one of our page, there is no direct way of tracking his/her change in location.

I mean that starting mid-March a user who had previously been in a -8:00 UTC offset would then be in a -7:00 UTC offset and you wouldn't know the timezone offset changed until they visited the website again.

Isn't the ScheduleTime class doing redundant work? Why bother keeping a dictionary, dealing with ints and strings when you can directly use strftime/strptime?

Except for the friday/fri thing, which, to be honest, I don't see the point of. I'd rather have uniformity in my code.

Agree. Its not the most useful class.

While we're on the topic -- there's also http://mailchimp.com/ if you want to outsource the job of sending subscription e-mail.
