Outputting

[brey at ductape.net]

I'm using smtplib to send an email message, and I'd like to put a Date: line
in the header.  However, formatting the timezone portion of the date line
correctly seems to be a real highly non-trivial.  time.strftime only outputs
the time zone as a string, and none of the variables in the time module are
easy to convert to the -600 style format.  Ironically, there is
rfc822.parsedate, which does the opposite of what I need (and is probably
much harder to write).

Is there a module that I'm missing that will take a time tuple and output the
proper RFC 822 date string?

Thanks in advance,
Ed
