Hello.

I just downloaded 2.3c1. I failed test_time as well. I was
going to submit a new bug, but then I saw this thread. I
hope this is the right place.

test_time
test test_time failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"/home/tim/Download/Python-2.3c1/Lib/test/test_time.py",

str(time.tzname[1]))

227 tests OK.

    test_time

Those skips are all expected on linux2.
make: *** [test] Error 1

For what it's worth, time seems to work...

$ ./python -c 'import time; print time.tzname'
('EST', 'EDT')

$ cat /proc/version
