How about rfc822.formatdate()? :)

>>> import time
>>> import rfc822
>>> rfc822.formatdate()
'Wed, 04 Apr 2001 21:23:07 GMT'
>>> rfc822.formatdate(time.time() - 3600)
'Wed, 04 Apr 2001 20:23:23 GMT'

Okay, so it takes a time float, but you can easy convert a time tuple
to a time float via time.mktime().
