For UI purposes, "pytz" has some helpers to get lists of timezone
names (all, common and country specific):
http://pytz.sourceforge.net/#helpers

Funnily enough, I woke up this morning thinking that this should be added, and wondering why pytz didn't have such lists. So I just missed (or rather forgot) that they existed. I'll add them.

Is there a specific reason you chose to exclude those from the PEP?

I'm still a fan of \*always\* shipping fallback tzdata

Yes, and I did update the rest of the PEP with this, but I missed the discussion part.
