Title:
  timemodule.c: Python loses current timezone

Status in Python:
  Invalid
Status in python2.6 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: python2.6

  Python routines in timemodule.c sometimes force glibc to use GMT
  instead of the correct timezone.

  PHP and Perl don't have this bug.  This has been filed upstream since
  2003 as http://bugs.python.org/issue762963 and has a patch (and a
  test) that needs a review.

  I think I reproduced this by:
  $ python
  >>>import time
  >>>time.strftime("%Z", time.localtime())
  'PDT'
  >>>time.strftime("%z", time.localtime())
  '+0000'
