It's very frustrating, that a single folder existence can take down the whole module. It seems there are linux package maintainers, who think creating a
/etc/timezone
folder is a good idea. This fixes #256 , I'm quite surprised this has open since 2018 and the bug still exists in 2022.This fix handles this by checking the file existence instead of path existence before reading timezone-related files.
Instead creating a simple
timezone
folder inpendulum/tests/fixtures/tz/symlink/etc/
a created a complete fixture for this problem inpendulum/tests/fixtures/tz/timezone_dir/
and a test with that folder.
