While responding to a c.l.py question just now I discovered that
numeric timezone offsets don't appear to be supported by either the
time.strftime function or the _strptime module. I noticed on my
Mac's strftime(3) man page that it supports a %Z format for TZ
names and a %z format for numeric tz offsets. It seems Python
should as well.

Closing as a duplicate of (closed) bpo-6641.
time.strftime appears to support %z on the platforms that support it in C strftime:
>>> time.strftime("%z", time.localtime()) '-0400'
