title: why does python new york time zone display 4:56 instead 4:00?
body: <p>I am creating a date that is 10:30 today in New York:</p>
  <pre><code>from pytz import timezone
  ny_tz = timezone('America/New_York')
  ny_time = datetime(2014, 9, 4, 10, 30, 2, 294757, tzinfo=ny_tz)
  </code></pre>
  <p>This prints:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>2014-09-04 10:30:02.294757-04:56</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I am trying to compare this to another new york time which has the time zone offset 4:00 and so the comparison doesn't work.</p>
  <p>How can I make the time zone offset 4:00 ?</p>
