[New-bugs-announce] [issue40683] Beta release does not distribute zoneinfo

[Paul Ganssle]

New submission from Paul Ganssle <p.ganssle at gmail.com>:

Apparently something is wrong with make install for beta 1 and the `zoneinfo` module is not installed with it (only _zoneinfo).

When I run a local build `./python -c "import zoneinfo"` works, but when I do `make install` I get ImportError:

  $ bin/python3 -c "import zoneinfo"
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'zoneinfo'

I assume this wasn't caught earlier because Lib/test/test_zoneinfo is *also* not being installed.

The C extension, _zoneinfo, is installed properly. I don't know if it is working on Windows.
