SF bug #652888 : bad documentation for the "type" builtin
...
Clarified that not all types are included. The OP was looking for a
StaticMethodType.
Also, added a note and example suggesting the use of int,str, etc.
instead of IntType, StrType, etc.
Renamed the crummy variable name in the example from "list" to "mylist".

A quicker astimezone() implementation, rehabilitating an earlier
...
suggestion from Guido, along with a formal correctness proof of the
trickiest bit. The intricacy of the proof reveals how delicate this
is, but also how robust the conclusion: correctness doesn't rely on
dst() returning +- one hour (not all real time zones do!), it only
relies on:
1. That dst() returns a (any) non-zero value if and only if daylight
time is in effect.
and
2. That the tzinfo subclass implements a consistent notion of time zone.
The meaning of "consistent" was a hidden assumption, which is now an
explicit requirement in the docs. Alas, it's an unverifiable (by the
datetime implementation) requirement, but so it goes.
