User (Yoann Roman) report on docs@ maillist:

----

The docs for logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler in Python 2.7 say that the "utc" keyword argument was added in 2.7:
http://docs.python.org/library/logging.handlers.html#timedrotatingfilehandler

This isn't correct, however, since it was available as of 2.6 (I verified the source as well):
http://docs.python.org/release/2.6/library/logging.html#timedrotatingfilehandler

It did appear to change to True/False in 2.7 instead of 0/1 in 2.6. I'd recommend changing it to indicate this or removing the fact that this was added in 2.7 altogether.

Closes issue bpo-13353: version doumentation about utc parameter corrected.
