bpo-36779: time.tzname returns empty string on Windows if default cod… (GH-13073) (GH-14032)
Calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") on a system where GetACP() returns CP_UTF8 results in empty strings in _tzname[].
This causes time.tzname to be an empty string.
I have reported the bug to the UCRT team and will follow up, but it will take some time get a fix into production.
In the meantime one possible workaround is to temporarily change the locale by calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C") before calling _tzset and restore the current locale after if the GetACP() == CP_UTF8 or CP_UTF7
