We discussed this a bit in #14, although I'm still not convinced this is likely to work super well.
Clearly it's something people want, though, so feel free to open a PR. :-)

I am trying this out, my machine is on a vehicle moving around, but it keeps updating to chicago time even though its in CA.
this is what i get if i dont do it through root:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/tzupdate.py", line 178, in link_localtime
os.symlink(zoneinfo_tz_path, localtime_temp_path)
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago' -> '/etc/localtime~'
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/tzupdate", line 11, in
load_entry_point('tzupdate==2.1.0', 'console_scripts', 'tzupdate')()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/tzupdate.py", line 298, in main
link_localtime(timezone, args.zoneinfo_path, args.localtime_path)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/tzupdate.py", line 185, in link_localtime
) from thrown_exc
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Could not link "/etc/localtime~" ([Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago' -> '/etc/localtime~'). Are you root?

Well, there's really nothing we can do about that. If your geolocation is wrong, then you're SOL. For most mobile packages, that IP range has totally generic information.

I'm not convinced this is useful, and nobody has submitted a PR in two years, so closing.
