Confirmed.  I think this is a general typographic issue in the PDF 
documentation.  If I cut-and-paste the datetime.isoformat(sep='T') line from 
the PDF, the single quotes are pasted as U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTE.  

Looking at the library.tex file built by "make pdflatex", it contains the ASCII 
single quotes, so LaTeX is responsible for turning the quotes into smart quotes.

I don't know if this is worth fixing and can see arguments both ways.  The 
smart quotes are readable and I doubt a reader will be confused and try to 
actually type them in their source code.  OTOH it's annoying that 
cut-and-pasting code from the PDFs won't work.
