The time tuple as returned by \function{gmtime()},
\function{localtime()}, and \function{strptime()}, and accepted by
\function{asctime()}, \function{mktime()} and \function{strftime()}, is a
tuple of 9 integers: year (e.g.\ 1993), month (1--12), day (1--31),
hour (0--23), minute (0--59), second (0--59), weekday (0--6, monday is
0), Julian day (1--366) and daylight savings flag (-1, 0 or 1).
Note that unlike the \C{} structure, the month value is a range of 1-12, not
0-11. A year value less than 100 will typically be silently converted to
1900 plus the year value. A \code{-1} argument as daylight savings
flag, passed to \function{mktime()} will usually result in the correct
daylight savings state to be filled in.

The module defines the following functions and data items:
\begin{datadesc}{accept2dyear}
Boolean value indicating whether two-digit year values will be
accepted. This is true by default, but will be set to false if the
environment variable \envvar{PYTHONY2K} has been set to a non-empty
string. It may also be modified at run time.
\end{datadesc}
\begin{datadesc}{altzone}
The offset of the local DST timezone, in seconds west of the 0th
meridian, if one is defined. Negative if the local DST timezone is
