[issue12758] time.time() returns local time instead of UTC

2011-08-16 Thread Maxim Koltsov 

New submission from Maxim Koltsov :

Python docs (http://docs.python.org/library/time.html#time.time) say that 
time.time() function should return UTC timestamp, but actually i get local one:
>>> time.mktime(time.gmtime()), time.time(), time.mktime(time.localtime())
(1313466499.0, 1313480899.384221, 1313480899.0)
As you can see, the result of second statement is equal to result of the third, 
while it must be equal to result of the first. Checked on 2.7 and 3.1. My OS is 
Gentoo/Linux, timezone-info is the latest version (2011h).

Then docs must be fixed. By the way, help(time.time) correctly says about 
localtime.
