[issue7370] BaseHTTPServer reinventing rfc822 date formatting

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

The HTTP RFCs reference the email RFCs for the date format, so the email package is the logical place for this function: email is the correct responsible party.  In any case, the function resides in email.utils, which has no dependencies on anything else in the email package.  Of course, it does have dependencies on other parts of the python standard library, but I hardly think you'd want every module re-implementing every stdlib function.
