summary:
bpo-38421: Update email.utils documentation (GH-16678)
Updates documentation around email.utils.parsedate_tz().
Currently, the documentation specifies that when a string without a is timezone passed to parsedate_tz(), the last tuple is returned as ```None```.
This is no longer true since Python 3.3
