This is correct, but did you notice what I wrote in my last message?

"""
In order to properly implement #9527 in datetime.py, some kind of
tm_gmtoff support will need to be added to the time module, but I
don't want this to become a feature that is exclusively available from
the time module.
"""

I am not rejecting this request, I am trying to consolidate two
closely related issues.  Can you explain why you believe this
functionality should be provided exclusively through the time module
and not be available in datetime?
