Antoine Pitrou added the comment:
Indeed the example in the docs is wrong, and so is the current behaviour.
The example shows "round-tripping" using ssl.cert_time_to_seconds() and then
time.ctime(), except that it is bogus as it takes a GMT time and ctime()
returns a local time ("""Convert a time expressed in seconds since the epoch to
a string representing local time""").
Still, we should only fix it in 3.4, as code written for prior versions may
rely on the current (bogus) behaviour.
