After starting up demo server, tried to connect from browser on local machine.  Server console displays this log message and exception:

My version of Python does not have a tzset() method in the time module.

I am trying to get Roundup adopted in my office for project issue tracking, but this is my 2nd or 3rd attempt at basic installation with demo behavior and little success.  This time, I didn't even get past the out-of-the-box demo! :(  I really want to use this project, but I'm ready to punt.

According to the docs, tzset is only available on UNIX. See
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html

Good point!  But I thought Roundup was supposed to run on Windows too.  Note that this is not my code I'm talking about, but code in Roundup.  If Roundup is to run on Windows, then it has to conditionalize this call to tzset, or wrap it in a try-except block.

And PLEASE don't tell me to install Cygwin!

Ok, sorry to report a dupe.  I really tried to search the bug db first, but I guess you had already closed the original bug.  (My boss wont let me close a bug until the software is available to the customer, so I just assumed if there were a previously reported bug, it would not be in the Closed state.  Live and learn.)

Any other Unix-ism's lurking out there in the code?  Perhaps track down the contributor who added this code, and see what other changes he/she made, since this person seems to have a blind spot when it comes to supporting Windows.
