When I call time.tzname at Korean Windows. (Microsoft Windows 10 Pro(10.0.17134 Build 17134))

It prints like below. This problem occurred Python 2 and 3 both.
>>> import time
>>> time.tzname
('´ëÇѹα¹ Ç¥ÁؽÃ', '´ëÇѹα¹ Àϱ¤ Àý¾à ½Ã°£')

I used chardet for getting correct tzname.
>>> import chardet
>>> tzname = [tzn.encode('latin-1').decode('cp949') for tzn in time.tzname]
>>> tzname
['대한민국 표준시', '대한민국 일광 절약 시간']

I think that cause of this problem is tzname encoded by 'latin-1' at Window s.

There is some discussion about this at https://bugs.python.org/issue16322#msg251068 and seems the issue is a related one.

Thanks

issue16322 was closed as a duplicate of issue36779 which was fixed. Does that resolve this problem as well?
