#10979 closed (fixed)

FixedOffset.__repr__ is misleading for negative offsets

Description

If you pass a negative offset to FixedOffset, the tzinfo representation is misleading:

>>> from django.utils.tzinfo import FixedOffset
>>> tz = FixedOffset(-510)
>>> tz
-0930

The attached patch simply calculates the hours as a float, which yields the more correct representation.

>>> from django.utils.tzinfo import FixedOffset
>>> tz = FixedOffset(-510)
>>> tz
-0830

You appear to have left off the portion of the patch that changes the tests. :-)

Good call on the tests as I caught additional cases. I'm not sure what kind of documentation is needed as needs_docs is set to 1.

Needs documentation: unset

The needs_docs was me being retarded. I was only to set needs_better_patch in that column.
