Not as simple as PHP, but of course it's possible :-)
>>> from email.Utils import formatdate

If you want to do the same thing with time module, you need a few
more lines to calcualate the timezone.
quote from footnote:
Note that the sign of the timezone offset is the opposite of the
sign of the time.timezone variable for the same timezone; the
latter variable follows the POSIX standard while this module
follows RFC 2822.
