I'm fairly ignorant of the gory details behind
the scenes of the time module, but I still contend
this is buggy behavior.  That is, setting
os.environ['TZ'] in the application totally
breaks higher level methods such as 
email.Utils.formatdate().

Barry had a suggestion which Mark doesn't think
is a good idea.  Mark, are you sure there isn't 
anything that can be done?  If think that if you 
disregard this issue, it will come back to haunt
the Python community.

With regards to your suggestion of mxDateTime:
I really can't consider this as I don't want to
rely on any external modules or packages.  
One of my application's strengths is that it 
"just works" out of the box with Python, so it's
very easy to install.  I'd like to keep it that
way unless it's absolutely necessary to do otherwise.
