A question about timezone terminology...
There are two different things commonly referred to as timezones:-
1. A (geographical) ruleset - in python from zoneinfo or pytz - which can be applied to a datetime. Typically named something like Europe/London
2. A constant offset - ie +01:00 - maybe with a label like BST
What are the correct terms for these things?
[Or a pointer to where I can get the terminology]
Thanks
