I've been running the python tests frequently today, from a checkout I did mid-morning. I just noticed an unexpected failure. This is with a regular build; I'll see if it is repeatable.

It is repeatable.

I pass with no issues.

It looks like the regex is expecting EST and getting EDT.

Yep. It looks like the timezones list is getting botched.

I will take a look tomorrow.

I changed my mind. =)

Until then, Jeremy, can you see if it passes if you back out the recent changes that modified timezone handling (I think it was just the last one; added GMT and UTC acknowledgement as well as handilng the timezone better, or so I thought)?

So it is actually two versions ago; version 1.16 is what I would like you to run (1.17 tried to make timzone handling more robust and 1.18 calls time.tzset in case there was a locale change since time.tzname does not get changed without the call). Can you also run the below line of code and paste in what gets spit out?::

 >>> import time, _strptime; time.daylight; time.tzname;

_strptime.LocaleTime().timezone; time.daylight; time.tzname; time.tzset()
