Other API Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Added :class:`email.parser.BytesHeaderParser`.
New :class:`~email.parser.BytesHeaderParser`, added to the :mod:`~email.parser`
module to complement :class:`~email.parser.HeaderParser` and complete the Bytes
API.
New utility functions:
* :func:`~email.utils.format_datetime`: given a :class:`~datetime.datetime`,
produce a string formatted for use in an email header.
* :func:`~email.utils.parsedate_to_datetime`: given a date string from
an email header, convert it into an aware :class:`~datetime.datetime`,
or a naive :class:`~datetime.datetime` if the offset is ``-0000``.
* :func:`~email.utils.localtime`: With no argument, returns the
current local time as an aware :class:`~datetime.datetime` using the local
:class:`~datetime.timezone`. Given an aware :class:`~datetime.datetime`,
converts it into an aware :class:`~datetime.datetime` using the
local :class:`~datetime.timezone`.

The :func:`~logging.basicConfig` function now supports an optional ``handlers``
argument taking an iterable of handlers to be added to the root logger.
A class level attribute :attr:`~logging.handlers.SysLogHandler.append_nul` has
been added to :class:`~logging.handlers.SysLogHandler` to allow control of the
appending of the ``NUL`` (``\000``) byte to syslog records, since for some
deamons it is required while for others it is passed through to the log.

mmap
----
The :meth:`~mmap.mmap.read` method is now more compatible with other file-like
objects: if the argument is omitted or specified as ``None``, it returns the
bytes from the current file position to the end of the mapping. (Contributed
