Summary: time.timezone / time.strftime('%z') problem

Initial Comment:
The information returned by time.timezone and
time.strftime('%z') are different!

I get the following results:

[simon at simon ~]$ date +%z
+0200
[simon at simon ~]$ date +%Z
CEST
[simon at simon ~]$ python
Python 2.4.2 (#1, Feb 12 2006, 03:45:41)
[GCC 4.1.0 20060210 (Red Hat 4.1.0-0.24)] on linux2
 [...]
>>> time.timezone
-3600
>>> time.strftime('%z')
'+0200'

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't
"time.timezone" return -7200 ?
