Re: Python for Windows reports wrong local time when run under Cygwin on Europe/Moscow TZ
What version(s) of the timezone files are installed on each? Also, seems one of the Python versions came from Windows, rather than Cygwin?

Without access to your Azure server VM, build, install, update, and terminal logs, we have no idea what you may be running and what error you may be encountering. When you report problems you must be very explicit and specific about what you are typing and seeing, and the edition, version, release, patch level of Windows you are running e.g. "Windows Server 2019 Datacenter: Azure Edition ... a new Windows Server image on Azure that has a unique build number and codebase", plus all the details on the "Upgrade to latest OS build", to which few or none of our support volunteers may have access, in which case you may have to participate in running tests, and reporting results accurately, to assist those trying to help you. In addition, those service VMs could have almost any level of security restrictions applied during setup, so it is unlikely but possible that Cygwin may just be unable to run effectively under such an environment. Many Cygwin users have encountered problems with defective commercial "security"/monitoring products "BLODA" in Cygwin's Big List of Dodgy Apps (a list https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda of applications that interfere with the normal working of Cygwin by intrusively injecting themselves in the system call chain) where the only solutions were to have them ignore all Cygwin programs and DLLs, deinstall the products, or use a different system. Please attach as plain text files: * the output log from your Azure server VM, of running the Cygwin diagnostic command: $ cygserver -hrsv > cygcheck-hrsv.log as requested at "Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html";, at the bottom of all posts to the mailing list * the contents of the initial /var/log/setup.log.full from running the Cygwin install * the summary /var/log/setup.log from Cygwin installs * the log /var/log/mandb-index.log from updating the man-db index during post-install * any changed man or man-db configuration files under /etc/ or ~/. * any commands affecting man in your ~/.bash_/zsh_/.../profile startup scripts * a terminal log of your commands entered and output including errors encountered, or * copy and paste the *actual* commands entered into the terminal and also the *verbatim* output and error messages generated.

Python for Windows reports wrong local time when run under Cygwin on Europe/Moscow TZ
Hello, Running Cygwin 3.1.7-1 on Windows 10 Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.985), I have this issue: when I start Cygwin's Python, I have correct time reported: mikek@DESKTOP-8SHAE9Q ~ $ python Python 3.8.9 (default, Apr 21 2021, 23:14:29) [GCC 10.2.0] on cygwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import datetime >>> datetime.datetime.now() datetime.datetime(2021, 6, 7, 9, 40, 15, 318391) But running Python for Windows (it doesn't matter which, specifically for the test I used the one from MS Store [1]), I have incorrect local time: mikek@DESKTOP-8SHAE9Q ~ $ "C:/Program Files/WindowsApps/PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_3.8.2800.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0/python3.8.exe" Python 3.8.10 (tags/v3.8.10:3d8993a, May 3 2021, 11:48:03) [MSC v.1928 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import datetime >>> datetime.datetime.now() datetime.datetime(2021, 6, 7, 7, 40, 55, 503775) Note how the latter output reports 2021-06-07 07:40, while the former reports 2021-06-07 09:40. The difference is 2 hours. Starting the same Python for Windows from cmd.exe has it correct: C:\Users\mikek>python Python 3.8.10 (tags/v3.8.10:3d8993a, May 3 2021, 11:48:03) [MSC v.1928 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import datetime >>> datetime.datetime.now() datetime.datetime(2021, 6, 7, 9, 41, 21, 925240) Cygwin reports correct timezone: $ echo $TZ Europe/Moscow Starting Python for Windows using a different timezone (specifically, '$ TZ=UTC "C:/Program Files/WindowsApps/PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_3.8.2800.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0/python3.8.exe"') gives correct time for *that* time zone. This is a problem, because in our project (LibreOffice), we use Cygwin as environment for unit testing, where LibreOffice's own Python (also built natively for Windows) is used, and at some times (from 00:00 till 02:00) it reports wrong dates, which makes tests fail locally on affected systems(see [2]).
