Here is an example, a format for dates compatible with that specified
in the \rfc{822} Internet email standard.
\footnote{The use of \%Z is now
deprecated, but the \%z escape that expands to the preferred
in the \rfc{2822} Internet email standard.
\footnote{The use of \code{\%Z} is now
deprecated, but the \code{\%z} escape that expands to the preferred
hour/minute offset is not supported by all ANSI C libraries. Also,
a strict reading of the original 1982 \rfc{822} standard calls for
a two-digit year (\%y rather than \%Y), but practice moved to
4-digit years long before the year 2000.}
4-digit years long before the year 2000. The 4-digit year has
been mandated by \rfc{2822}, which obsoletes \rfc{822}.}
\begin{verbatim}
>>> from time import *
>>> strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z", localtime())
'Sat, 27 Jan 2001 05:15:05 EST'
>>>
>>> from time import gmtime, strftime
>>> strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S +0000", gmtime())
'Thu, 28 Jun 2001 14:17:15 +0000'
