New submission from lilydjwg:
With %z, the result gets a tzinfo, but with %Z, it succeeds but the result is
without timezone info:
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime('2016-10-31T03:58:24 CST', '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S
>>> %Z')
datetime.datetime(2016, 10, 31, 3, 58, 24)
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime('2016-10-31T03:58:24 +0800', '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S
>>> %z')
datetime.datetime(2016, 10, 31, 3, 58, 24,
tzinfo=datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(0, 28800)))
So the first one loses infomation (and will result in wrong values if the
programmer isn't aware of this, and the local timezone is different than the
one in the string).
