Yep. It looks like the timezones list is getting botched.

So it is actually two versions ago; version 1.16 is what I would like
you to run (1.17 tried to make timzone handling more robust and 1.18
calls time.tzset in case there was a locale change since time.tzname
does not get changed without the call). Can you also run the below line
of code and paste in what gets spit out?::
>>> import time, _strptime; time.daylight; time.tzname;
_strptime.LocaleTime().timezone; time.daylight; time.tzname; time.tzset()
