Package: python2.6
Version: 2.6.6~rc1-1
Severity: important
Python docs say:
time.strftime(format[, t])
Convert a tuple or struct_time representing a time as returned by gmtime() or
localtime() to a string as specified by the format argument. If t is not
provided, the current time as returned by localtime() is used.
However,
>>> time.strftime("%Z", time.localtime())
'GMT'
>>> time.strftime("%Z")
'BST'
>>>
So, either the docs are buggy or the module is buggy. This is actually
relatively
annoying, since there seems to be no way of getting strftime to output the
correct
timezone name when it is given the time argument. It means that there is no way
of
correctly printing timezone names for any other date & time except local "now"
time.
