It seems to me that the quoted function from bzr
def local_time_offset(t=None):
 """Return offset of local zone from GMT, either at present or at time t."""
 # python2.3 localtime() can't take None
 if t is None:
 t = time.time()
 if time.localtime(t).tm_isdst and time.daylight:
 return -time.altzone
 else:
 return -time.timezone
would be very helpful to add to the `time` module docs as an example. I have to agree with the OP that the current state of the docs is not as clear as it could be.
