Hmmm,dunno everything else is, and has worked perfectly.

I'll try a clean venv to include tzdata and see if that helps anything.

Already did try installing tzdata and got a backtrace showoing that it was being used. Still literally says something like "FileNotFoundError, $tzdir/localtime".

As for Psycopg3 in general... Very, very nice work.

Cheers!
