Mark,

To answer your question from a couple days ago,
my exact requirements are:  The ability to produce
an rfc2822 compliant "Date" string that corresponds
to the current value of 'TZ' in the environment.  
I'm currently using email.Utils.formatdate() to 
produce the Date, but this breaks as soon as I set 
'TZ' within my application.  Setting 'TZ' from 
within Python is necessary.  I don't currently
know of a way to get around this problem as the
breakage is in the lower level time module.

Again, mxDateTime is NOT an option.  Whether it 
integrates nicely with Python and runs on many 
platforms is not relevant.  I'm sure both of these 
facts are true, but I don't want my application to 
depend on any external packages.  This complicates 
the installation procedure unnecessarily.
