Why are these values illegal? The GNU libc accepts year in [1900-2^31; 2^31-1] (tm_year in [-2147483648; 2147481747]). If time.accept2dyear=False, we should at least accept years in [1; 9999]. The system libc would raise an error (return NULL) if it doesn't know how to format years older than 1900. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8013> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
