[issue22426] strptime accepts the wrong '2010-06-01 MSK' string but rejects the right '2010-06-01 MSD'

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky added the comment:

There is no daylight savings time in Moscow and python detects this correctly:

$ TZ=Europe/Moscow python3
>>> import time
>>> time.daylight
0

Note that historically, there was DST, but time module cannot handle historical TZ changes.

(Russian government compensates the relative sanity of not moving the clocks twice a year by changing the UTC offset and TZ boundaries every 5 years or so.:-)
