See #134261 for issue background and technical detail on causes. This solves the issue by using gmtime whenever SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is involved, to prevent pulling in system timezone information when performing time calculations.

Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.

I added this feature 8 months ago. There was a reason for using localtime. See #124435 (review) and 54a7116

Maybe we can ask @jaraco
