Difference between timezones is always 0

[matcool]

I wanted to check the hours difference between two timezones, but instead I got 0
Example: (this happens with any two timezones)

>>> a = pendulum.now('America/New_York')
>>> b = pendulum.now('Europe/Berlin')
>>> a.diff(b).in_hours()
0

Hi @matcool, I'm not one of the maintainers, but might be able to help you out:

dt1.diff(dt2) return time time between the moments that d1 and d2 occur. As you're specifically asking for now, but in two different timezones, it will be the same 'moment' of time, and therefore difference is 0.

To look it from a different angle, if you would screen "HEY" now while being in New York, and I would screen "HEY" now while being in Berlin, we will be screaming "HEY" at the same time: 0 hours difference.

If you want the difference in timezone offsets, you can use the offset property, which specifies the +/- number of seconds offset from UTC:

In [14]: (pendulum.now('Europe/Berlin').offset - pendulum.now('America/New_York').offset) / 3600
Out[14]: 6.0
