There is no daylight savings time in Moscow and python detects this correctly: $ TZ=Europe/Moscow python3 >>> import time >>> time.daylight 0 Note that historically, there was DST, but time module cannot handle historical TZ changes. (Russian government compensates the relative sanity of not moving the clocks twice a year by changing the UTC offset and TZ boundaries every 5 years or so.:-)
