Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: mktime() does change several global C runtime variables on Linux. See the man page on http://linux.die.net/man/3/mktime
However, the Python documentation does not mention anything about having time.tzname being tied to the C lib global: https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/time.html#time.tzname So I don't think this qualifies as bug. Note that those global C variable are not thread-safe, so you can't really trust their values relating to anything you've just set using mktime() anyway. ---------- nosy: +lemburg _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22798> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
