Ah..I see what you mean now.
And no, it is not pretty cool...it's basically the opposite. A simple rule of thumb: anything made to make your life easier or to save you from understanding how xbmc works...will make your life harder.
The xbmc python api doesn't provide any way for you to install addons. What that thing is doing is basically downloading the addon zip (and I assume the repository zip?) to your addons folder and unzipping it. That's not the way addons are installed in xbmc.
There are bunch of dependencies advertised in the addon addon.xml which are only pulled from xbmc.org official repository if you install the addons the proper way. In this case, pytz (python timezones) is one of them. Without it, timezones will not work.
So, stop using "addon installers" or wizard things. Addons or xbmc are not magically configured for you.

PS: Probably not supported here but...no problem with fusion. It's just a server hosting 3rd party addons and 3rd party addon repositories. If you want to escape the "trouble" of downloading/putting the repository zip into your android box. You can install the repository via zip file from fusion. Just don't use any other tools to achieve such a simple process.
