Not quite.  What I was trying to do was just change the timezone for a single 
process (eg.  make time.localtime() == time.gmtime() ).  I did find a 
workaround: if you set the TZ environment variable prior to running the 
script, it works as I wanted.  It's just a little annoying that I have to make 
sure it is set prior to invoking the process.
