Here's what I wrote for Slime (thhe mailer I'm writing):
def _date_header(self):
"""Return Date header reflecting current time."""
# XXX this should probably communicate the local time zone
# somehow
t = time.gmtime(time.time())
return "Date: %s, %02d %s %04d %02d:%02d:%02d GMT\n" % \
(rfc822._daynames[t[6]],
t[2],
rfc822._monthnames[t[1]],
t[0],
t[3],
t[4],
t[5])
Note that it isn't locale dependent.
(I apologize for the bad indentation of a whole tab, I haven't got around
to implementing proper indentation support in my editor.)
