How about adding a time zone parameter to time.localtime?
A offset just like the form: ± hh[:mm[:ss]].
Why should this be necessary? `localtime` returns the time
in the "local timezone" -- and the "local timezone" usually
does not change between different calls to `localtime`.
It can if your calls to localtime() happen either side of a daylight
saving time switch.
That said, I agree that the timezone doesn't really belong in the output
of localtime(). There are a very few occasions when you want it, but
more often you should be working in UTC not local time.
