Description of problem: ValueError when formatting time-zone to one that dose not exist in TZ environment variable. # TZ=EST python -c 'import time;print time.strptime("Tue May 10 15:42:40 EST 2011", "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y")' time.struct_time(tm_year=2011, tm_mon=5, tm_mday=10, tm_hour=15, tm_min=42, tm_sec=40, tm_wday=1, tm_yday=130, tm_isdst=0) # TZ=GMT python -c 'import time;print time.strptime("Tue May 10 15:42:40 EST 2011", "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y")' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/_strptime.py", line 454, in _strptime_time return _strptime(data_string, format)[0] File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/_strptime.py", line 325, in _strptime (data_string, format)) ValueError: time data 'Tue May 10 15:42:40 EST 2011' does not match format '%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-2.6.6-20.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: strptime %Z should be able to format any time-zone. Additional info:
Quoting http://docs.python.org/library/time.html#time.strptime "Support for the %Z directive is based on the values contained in tzname and whether daylight is true. Because of this, it is platform-specific except for recognizing UTC and GMT which are always known (and are considered to be non-daylight savings timezones)." You may want to look at the python-dateutil package; in particular, dateutil.parser.parse

Thanks, we'll parse it in vdsm.
Since the component specifies vdsm, please also specify where in vdsm does this bug occur.
