Function Time2Internaldate

Lib/imaplib.py:1821–1858

Convert date_time to IMAP4 INTERNALDATE representation. Return string in form: '"DD-Mmm-YYYY HH:MM:SS +HHMM"'. The date_time argument can be a number (int or float) representing seconds since epoch (as returned by time.time()), a 9-tuple representing local time, an instance of time
