Summary: time module docs vs implementation

Initial Comment:
Goal: Print current time

Library reference docs state "time.asctime()" should work

However,
Python 1.5.2 (#1, Feb  1 2000, 16:32:16)  [GCC
egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs- on linux-i386
>>> import time
>>> print time.asctime()

gives "TypeError: function requires at least one argument"

same holds for time.gmtime() and time.localtime() as well

The only way to print current time afaik is
>>> print time.asctime( time.localtime( time.time()) )

which is quite more complicated than promised

The current documentation applies to Python 2.1.  If you're
using
Python 1.5.2, you'll need to use the Python 1.5.2 docs.
