[New-bugs-announce] [issue10213] tests shouldn't fail with unset timezone

[Dirkjan Ochtman]

New submission from Dirkjan Ochtman <dirkjan at ochtman.nl>:

test_strptime in test_time fails when the timezone is not set:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_strptime (test.test_time.TimeTestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.6.4/work/Python-2.6.4/Lib/test/test_time.py",
line 117, in test_strptime
    (format, strf_output))
AssertionError: conversion specifier '%Z' failed with 'Local time zone must be set--see zic manual page' input.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 14 tests in 1.206s
Maybe something like this is good enough?
