If the current time zone changes on Windows, time.localtime will continue to return results that reflect the time zone the system used when the module was imported. My current work around is to use GetLocalTime from kernel32 with ctypes. Windows does not have a tzset() equivalent as it does in Linux, but it seems like modifying time.localtime to use GetLocalTime on Windows systems could make up for this shortcoming. |

This is not a bug in Python, but in the Microsoft CRT. Rewriting Python to not use the CRT anymore for this is non-trivial, in particular as the semantics of environment variables (TZ) needs to be considered. |

Is there a way to force the time module to be reinitialized? I had no success experimenting with reload and del, but I assume that has something to do with the module being CRT based. |

What needs reinitialization is not the time module, but the CRT. This is not possible without starting a completely new process. |
