I have updated the PR, this time I have kept it really simple, and have added 
examples showing both the cases.

[issue13927] Document time.ctime format

[Cheryl Sabella]

Cheryl Sabella  added the comment:

I guess what I'm thinking of `Www Mmm dd hh:mm:ss ` as representing isn't 
so much a format, but rather a literal replacement of where each value has a 
placeholder in the string (that is, a pattern).  So, even if `Www` doesn't mean 
anything, to me it means that the first three characters in the string are a 
Weekday, then there's a space, then Mmm is the month, then a space, then dd is 
the day number (with zero sometimes suppressed), etc.  

If that is more confusing than not using it, then that's fine.  I just wanted 
to mention it.

Using %d to me is also confusing since the docs define %d as `Day of the month 
as a decimal number [01,31]`.  This clearly isn't using 01, but rather 
suppressing the 0.

This is not python compatible format, I want something like "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S 
%Y" to explain it.

Cheryl Sabella  added the comment:

I would like to help get this issue merged as it's already been approved by a 
core developer.

Does anyone object to the change?  Victor made a suggestion on the PR for 
alternative wording and I wanted to give others a chance to comment on that.

Also, looking at the man page for asctime, they use `Www Mmm dd hh:mm:ss ` 
as the description of the output.  Maybe it would be helpful to add this since 
it shows the spacing and explicitly shows the day number taking up 2 characters?

Thanks!
