[issue37915] Segfault in comparison between datetime.timezone.utc and pytz.utc

Seems this is due to issue37685 (dde944f9df) on bisecting datetime related changes. Adding Serhiy. I guess this could be marked as release blocker.

Here is a simplified reproducer on extracting pytz.utc source [0] which is an object of simple subclass of datetime.tzinfo : 

import sys
import datetime

print(sys.version)
class UTC(datetime.tzinfo):
    pass

print(datetime.timezone.utc == UTC())
datetime.timezone.utc == datetime.tzinfo() # This also segfaults without a subclass and should be False

# Segfaults
