It occurred to me this morning that Python already ships a set of timezone data with the Windows installer: Tcl/Tk's. Is there any way we could use that as the default on Windows?

I would say no. You could choose not to include Tcl/Tk in your installation, or you could build your own Python and not include those sources. In either case, the lack of a GUI toolkit is now affecting your use of timezone data - weird/bad.

Plus we only pull updated Tcl/Tk every few years.
