One other thing that the PEP should describe is what happens on a distro that has timezone data, but which you also pip install the PyPI tzdata package. Which one wins? Is there a way to control it, other than providing an explicit path? Is there a way to uninstall the PyPI package? Does the API need to provide a method which tells you where the database it is using by default lives? Cheers, -Barry
