Why am I getting different results from this code on Windows vs. Linux:
In [1]: from dateutil.rrule import rrule, DAILY, MONTHLY, MO, TU, WE, TH, FR
In [2]: from datetime import date, datetime
In [3]: r = rrule(MONTHLY, byweekday=TH(3), bymonth=(3,6,9,12), dtstart=datetime(2009,3,19))
In [4]: r.after(datetime(2015,3,1,12))
Out[4]: datetime.datetime(2015, 3, 5, 0, 0)
On windows I get:
In [1]: from dateutil.rrule import rrule, DAILY, MONTHLY, MO, TU, WE, TH, FR
In [2]: from datetime import date, datetime
In [3]: r = rrule(MONTHLY, byweekday=TH(3), bymonth=(3,6,9,12), dtstart=datetime(2009,3,19))
In [4]: r.after(datetime(2015,3,1,12))
Out[4]: datetime.datetime(2015, 3, 19, 0, 0)
Note that the machines are in different timezones.
I get the correct datetime(2015, 3, 19, 0, 0) on my Linux machine (dateutil-2.0).
>>> import calendar
>>> calendar.prmonth(2015, 3)
March 2015

The local timezone does not matter in this case -- 2015-03-19 may correspond to different UTC times in different timezones but as long as Gregorian calendar is used, 2015-03-05 won't be the 3rd Thursday of the month whatever the local timezone is.
Try to update your dateutil version on your Linux machine.
