    why goes the time change after import statement ?

    hi i am working on a S3 project and facing a really weird problem!
    take a look at the following import statements and the time output
    >>import time
    >>time.strftime ("%a, %d %b %Y %X GMT", time.gmtime())
    'Sat, 02 Aug 2008 20:21:56 GMT'

    # OK
    >>import pygtk
    >>time.strftime ("%a, %d %b %Y %X GMT", time.gmtime())
    'Sat, 02 Aug 2008 20:22:04 GMT'

    # OK
    >>import gtk
    >>time.strftime ("%a, %d %b %Y %X GMT", time.gmtime())
    'Sat, 02 Aug 2008 08:22:11 PM GMT'

    # HOW THE HELL THIS HAPPEN ??? not DATE_RFC2822 format gmt time !

    i have waisted 3 hours trying to locate the source of this strange
    problem.
    so what i am asking is does anyone know to overwrite or fix the
    defaurl behaviour strftime() ????

      Reading the manual page for strftime -- http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html
      -- says that '%X' is the locale's appropriate time representation, so
      obviously gtk is adjusting your locale. Perhaps use a formatting
      string that doesn't depend on the locale: '%H:%M:%S' instead of '%X'
      seems to give your preferred format.

          ok that explain it.
          but what command does gtk runs that it sets the default behaviour of
          strfime() to that ?

              Maybe setlocale?
