This isn't a Python bug - it's a quirk of the way that the "Etc/***" timezones 
are defined. See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database#Area:

> In order to conform with the POSIX style, those zone names beginning with 
> "Etc/GMT" have their sign reversed from the standard ISO 8601 convention. In 
> the "Etc" area, zones west of GMT have a positive sign and those east have a 
> negative sign in their name (e.g "Etc/GMT-14" is 14 hours ahead of GMT).
