This adds a deprecation warning to the isdst parameter in email.utils.localtime. This is my first contribution so any feedback is welcome.

I'm not sure why it says I haven't signed the CLA. I did just link it with my github account so it may take a moment to refresh I assume.

A good start, thanks!

It would need some documentation updating too.

Put a .. deprecated:: 3.11 under the function in email.utils.rst. For example, have a look at:

And also list it on "What’s New In Python 3.11":

Thanks, looks good! Hopefully a core dev can take a look soon and trigger the CI.

Hi, just wanted to check if there was anything I could do to move this along.

This is a great start! A few things to fix up, though.

There will also need to be test changes for this, both to test that the deprecation warning is emitted as expected, and to prevent it from escaping where we don't want it.

Also, note that I'm not a maintainer of the email package, so these are just general suggestions to hopefully make this quicker and easier for one of them to accept :)

We need to change the default value here to detect when someone is passing in -1 explicitly. None is fine as the new default, or you could add _ignored = object() just before this function and use _ignored as the new default.

As mentioned in the issue, this whole function can be reduced to just a thin wrapper around datetime.astimezone():

if dt is None:
    dt = datetime.datetime.now()
return dt.astimezone()

(Extra code for the deprecated parameter not shown :))

Since this should generally not be necessary unless someone is passing in a value for isdst, it can be imported where it's used.

Since we're specifying in the code that it will be removed in 3.13, we can use the deprecated-removed directive here to also document when it will disappear.

The docstring should be updated to remove everything about isdst, and replace it with a simple note that the parameter is ignored. Similar in the documentation.

Unfortunately, the easy route here makes for an ugly message: 'The isdst argument to localtime' is deprecated .... We need to specify our own message to make it prettier:

Since it wasn't documented before and is being removed, we probably don't want to add it now :). The deprecation note can mention that it was previously undocumented.
