The solution for bpo-36779 changed init_timezone() to get tzname directly from
WinAPI GetTimeZoneInformation().
Unfortunately the implementer didn't think to also support time.tzset(), so the
value may be stale with no way to refresh it, or possibly different from what
time.strftime('%Z') returns, depending on when ucrt looks up the timezone. For
example, start Python and import time. Then change the time zone and call
time.strftime('%Z'). The value will be different from time.tzname.

superseder: -> time.tzname returns empty string on Windows if default codepage
is a Unicode codepage
