New submission from Skip Montanaro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Back in April we had a thread on xmlrpclib's problematic handling of dates before 1900:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel/93273/focus=93309 I'm still of the opinion that strftime() is the culprit and xmlrpclib is just an innocent bystander. Guido worried that to correct this we'd have to implement strftime() from scratch. I took a different approach and scouted around for an existing version of strftime() which we could suck into the distribution. I found a modified version of the BSD 4.4 strftime which came with (I see to recall) Tcl. The attached patch is against the py3k svn repo. It passes all tests as far as I can tell. Also, see http://bugs.python.org/issue1777412 which appears to be related. ---------- files: strftime.diff keywords: patch, patch messages: 68603 nosy: skip.montanaro priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: external strftime for Python? versions: Python 3.0 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10704/strftime.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3173> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
