Georg Brandl <georg at python.org> added the comment:
It seems to me that the quoted function from bzr
def local_time_offset(t=None):
"""Return offset of local zone from GMT, either at present or at time t."""
# python2.3 localtime() can't take None
if t is None:
t = time.time()
if time.localtime(t).tm_isdst and time.daylight:
return -time.altzone
else:
return -time.timezone
would be very helpful to add to the `time` module docs as an example. I have to agree with the OP that the current state of the docs is not as clear as it could be.
