pythonGH-13073) Calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") on a system where GetACP() returns CP_UTF8 results in empty strings in _tzname[]. This causes time.tzname to be an empty string. I have reported the bug to the UCRT team and will follow up, but it will take some time get a fix into production. In the meantime one possible workaround is to temporarily change the locale by calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C") before calling _tzset and restore the current locale after if the GetACP() == CP_UTF8 or CP_UTF7 @zooba https://bugs.python.org/issue36779 (cherry picked from commit b4c7def) Co-authored-by: Paul Monson <[email protected]>
