Timezone info is fetched from time.tzname so it should be consistent but 
can change between platforms.

Below is from an email I sent a while back.  Can you try what I suggest 
and let me know the results?

recent changes that modified timezone handling (I think it was just the 
last one; added GMT and UTC acknowledgement as well as handilng the 
timezone better, or so I thought)?


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()
