The default :data:`TZPATH` includes several common deployment locations for the
time zone database (except on Windows, where there are no "well-known"
locations for time zone data). Downstream distributors and those building
Python from source who know where their system time zone data is deployed may
change the default time zone path by specifying the compile-time option
``PYTHONTZPATHDEFAULT``, which should be a string delimited by
:data:`os.pathsep`.
locations for time zone data). On POSIX systems, downstream distributors and
those building Python from source who know where their system
time zone data is deployed may change the default time zone path by specifying
the compile-time option ``TZPATH`` (or, more likely, the ``configure`` flag
``--with-tzpath``), which should be a string delimited by :data:`os.pathsep`.

On all platforms, the configured value is available as the ``TZPATH`` key in
:func:`sysconfig.get_config_var`.
