As described in Python's issue [1], the problem comes from passing a TZ 
environment variable value that is invalid for Windows C runtime [2]. So 
in the end, it *might* be something for Cygwin to handle.

*If* Cygwin can detect that it starts a native Windows binary (I hope it 
can), then it could try to convert the TZ from Unix kind to Windows 
kind. That way, it could become valid. Or at least it could be unset 
(but that is questionable).

Of course, I could overlook some possible drawbacks from this imagined 
fix, which could make it undesirable. Anyway, I have implemented a 
workaround in our project unsetting TZ before calling Python, and it's 
resolved for us.

Thanks!
