This just isn't going to happen. There's no agreement to be had. For example, the proleptic Gregorian calendar _does_ have a "year 0", and so also does ISO 8601. Version 1.0 of the XML schema spec did not have a year 0, but _claimed_ to be compatible with ISO 8601 - which it wasn't in this respect. So version 1.1 added year 0, despite then being incompatible with version 1.0 of itself in this respect[1]. > I am not sure that adding this feature would be worth > the support burden it would bring. I am: it wouldn't ;-) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_year_numbering ---------- nosy: +tim.peters _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37992> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
