New submission from Terry J. Reedy:

"time.timezone 
The offset of the local (non-DST) timezone, in seconds west of UTC (negative in 
most of Western Europe, positive in the US, zero in the UK)."

Quite aside from #9305 (UTC is not a place), this does not specify the effect 
of setting this attribute. It does not change the output of localtime, asctime, 
or ctime (on Windows). Does is affect anything else? strftime? If setting it 
has no effect, the doc should say so. (And then perhaps it should be made 
read-only in the future, as setting it expecting an effect would be a bug.)
