Warning: /usr/bin occurs before /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin in your PATH.
This means that system-provided programs will be used instead of those
provided by Homebrew. Consider setting your PATH so that
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin occurs before /usr/bin. Here is a one-liner:
  echo 'export PATH="/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.profile

Description of issue

On my Ubuntu22 Linux, the system Python3 returns the correct timezone info:

$ python3.10 -c 'import time; print(time.timezone)'
-3600

The Homebrew Python3.11/3.12 return an incorrect 0:

$ /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/python3.11 -c 'import time; print(time.timezone)'
0

However, if I remove glibc and then reinstall Python, the error is resolved:

$ brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies glibc
$ brew reinstall [email protected]
$ /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/python3.11 -c 'import time; print(time.timezone)'
-3600

Is there any reason why you installed glibc? It shouldn't be needed for your setup as your host glibc is new enough.

The issue you described should have been fixed in Homebrew/homebrew-core#138629, although the bottles were not rebuilt so you probably did not get the fix. Please try this:

brew tap homebrew/core
HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew postinstall glibc

On Ubuntu20, the host glibc is outdated. The glibc dependency in Homebrew comes with this localtime issue unresolved.
So we need to use this workaround with the homebrew/core Tap.

On Ubuntu22, we can live without Homebrew glibc. Nevertheless, I tried installing it as you suggested, and it works fine. Thank you.
