In the time library documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html) the directives %G, %V and %u for strftime() are missing, although they work (at least for me in Linux Mint):

$ python3
Python 3.8.10 (default, Sep 28 2021, 16:10:42) 
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from time import strftime
>>> strftime("%G-W%V-%u")
'2021-W42-7'

This seems to be officially supported by the datetime library since https://bugs.python.org/issue12006 or at least there is a section for the ISO 8601 week directives in the datetime documentation:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-format-codes

I would like to see the same for the time library.
