[New-bugs-announce] [issue5079] time.ctime docs refer to "time tuple" for default

New submission from Tom Lynn <tlynn at users.sourceforge.net>:

The docs for time.ctime() (quoted below) seem to have been copied from 
time.asctime(). They refer to a time tuple and localtime(), where they 
should refer to seconds and time().

Current docs::

    ctime(seconds) -> string
    
    Convert a time in seconds since the Epoch to a string in local time.
    This is equivalent to asctime(localtime(seconds)). When the time 
    tuple is not present, current time as returned by localtime() is 
    used.
