On further inspection, it seems that strptime() in 2.7 doesn't handle %z 
at all. In 3.2, it ignores the value it gets, because there's no 
practical way to select the "right" tz string from the offset.

For example, a dictionary of offset minutes to tzstrings looks something 
like this:

I've patched my 2.7 to set a tz string of "UTC[+-]nnnn" from the [+-]nnnn 
%z value.
