New Revision: 87736

Log:
Issue #8013: time.asctime and time.ctime no longer call system asctime
and ctime functions.  The year range for time.asctime is now 1900
through maxint.  The range for time.ctime is the same as for
time.localtime.  The string produced by these functions is longer than
24 characters when year is greater than 9999.

 .. function:: asctime([t])
 
    Convert a tuple or :class:`struct_time` representing a time as returned by
-   :func:`gmtime` or :func:`localtime` to a 24-character string of the following
+   :func:`gmtime` or :func:`localtime` to a string of the following
    form: ``'Sun Jun 20 23:21:05 1993'``.  If *t* is not provided, the current time
    as returned by :func:`localtime` is used. Locale information is not used by
    :func:`asctime`.
