Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: According to the datetime.h file, the valid range for year is 1-9999, so it's a bit surprising that Python 3.6 allows dates outside this range.
Internally, the year is represented using 2 bytes, so you could represent years outside the range and up to 65535 as well. Here's what mxDateTime outputs for the given timestamps: >>> from mx.DateTime import * >>> DateTimeFromTicks(1<<40) <mx.DateTime.DateTime object for '36812-02-20 01:36:16.00' at 7f17a38a2390> >>> DateTimeFromTicks(1<<41) <mx.DateTime.DateTime object for '71654-04-10 03:12:32.00' at 7f17a1bdf858> ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29346> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
