    While responding to a c.l.py question just now I discovered that
    numeric timezone offsets don't appear to be supported by either the
    time.strftime function or the _strptime module. I noticed on my
    Mac's strftime(3) man page that it supports a %Z format for TZ
    names and a %z format for numeric tz offsets. It seems Python
    should as well.

    Closing as a duplicate of (closed) bpo-6641.

    time.strftime appears to support %z on the platforms that support it in C strftime:

    >>> time.strftime("%z", time.localtime())
'-0400'
