mktime() does change several global C runtime variables on Linux. See the man page on http://linux.die.net/man/3/mktime

However, the Python documentation does not mention anything about having time.tzname being tied to the C lib global: https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/time.html#time.tzname

So I don't think this qualifies as bug.

Note that those global C variable are not thread-safe, so you can't really trust their values relating to anything you've just set using mktime() anyway.
