Summary: timestamp function for time module
Initial Comment:
Timestamp creates timestamp strings
in ISO or ODBC format in UTC or local timezones.
It can also add microseconds where needed.
Timestamps are often needed
outside database or XML activities,
so its proposed location is the time module.
timestamp(secs=None,fmt='ISO',TZ=None,fracsec=None):
'''Make ISO or ODBC timestamp from [current] time.
Parameters:
secs= float seconds, else default = time()
fmt = 'ISO' use ISO 8601 standard format =
"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.mmmmmmZ" Zulu or
"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.mmmmmm-hh:mm" local
else "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.mmmmmm" ODBC
TZ = None=GMT/UTC/Zulu, else local time zone
fracsec = None, else add microseconds to string
'''
Any improvement or standardization is welcome.

Nice patch. If you want to see this included, you should
complete it: Decide on location of the function, provide
documentation and test cases. As the location, it may be
that the calendar module could provide a home, but you may
ask in the newsgroup.
If you merely wanted to publish this code snippet, I
suggest that you find a better home than the Python patch
database, e.g. the Cookbook:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python
There are a number of other places that collect Python
snippets; this is just one option.
