It is unlikely that someone will fix this in the future. This feature will remain as-it-is (or are you going to fix it).
I think I can reject my own issues if necessary.

Yes, but this is a feature request that it should be.
Maybe something to add to Products.PythonScript.standard.

Please stop rejecting this issue.

'time' is officially not supported to be imported directly.

But it is a feature request, and quite a valid one...

Ah ok...the doc string fooled me:

>> import time
>>> time.localtime.__doc__
"localtime([seconds]) -> (tm_year,tm_mon,tm_day,tm_hour,tm_min,tm_sec,tm_wday,tm_yday,tm_isdst)\n\nConvert seconds since the Epoch to a time tuple expressing local time.\nWhen 'seconds' is not passed in, convert the current time instead."

Also the representation looked like a tuple and I used it
as a tuple for years.

Here is the reason:

>>> import time
>>> t = time.localtime(time.mktime((2003, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)))
>>> t
(2003, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 6, 33, 0)
>>> type(t)
<type 'time.struct_time'>

localtime() returns a struct_time rather than a tuple.  Zope should explicitly allow access to struct_time objects, I suppose.

The PyScript

import time

return time.localtime(time.mktime((2003, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)))[6]

raises

Error Type: Unauthorized
Error Value: You are not allowed to access '6' in this context

The import of 'time' is allowed through allow_module().
This behaviour is very odd since time.localtime()
returns a tuple and it does not make sense to forbid
the access to the items of a tuple. 

A workaround is to use tuple(time.localtime(....))[6]
This creates a new tuple from the old one....very wierd.
