[New-bugs-announce] [issue13413] time.daylight incorrect behavior in linux glibc

[Dmitry Balabanov]

New submission from Dmitry Balabanov <dimonb at gmail.com>:

In Europe/Moscow timezone:
>> import time
>> time.daylight
1
>>> time.timezone
-10800

But if compile and run attached program result would be:
timezone: -14400, daylight: 0

Daylight is not applicable in Europe/Moscow timezone from this winter. But python detect daylight flag as differences between January and July localtime. 

Why not tzset()?
