Python 3 uses a monotonic clock to implement timeouts, such clock is not affected by system clock changes *on purpose*. See time.monotonic() and PEP 418:
https://docs.python.org/dev/library/time.html#time.monotonic
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0418/

Relying on the system clock can cause severe bugs.

I suggest to close this issue as "not a bug".
