Anand B Pillai <abpil...@gmail.com> added the comment: The problem seems to be in the "normalize_date" function in datetimemodule.c. It is checking for a valid year range, but not checking for a valid month or day range.
I have a patch which fixes this problem. It checks for month range (1<=m<=12) and day range(1<=d<=31). Here is Python with the patch. an...@anand-laptop:~/projects/python/py3k$ ./python Python 3.2a0 (py3k:75627, Oct 25 2009, 14:28:21) [GCC 4.3.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
