New submission from Ram Rachum:
The documentation for %Z (
https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-strptime-behavior )
says it matches `EST` among others, but in practice it doesn't:
Python 3.4.0 (v3.4.0:04f714765c13, Mar 16 2014, 19:25:23) [MSC v.1600 64
bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
