Attached patch, issue10827c.diff, implements the following logic in gettmarg: /* If year is specified with less that 4 digits, its interpretation * depends on the accept2dyear value. * * If accept2dyear is true (default), a backward compatibility behavior is * invoked as follows: * * - for 2-digit year, century is guessed according to POSIX rules for * %y strptime format: 21st century for y < 69, 20th century * otherwise. A deprecation warning is issued when century * information is guessed in this way. * * - for 3-digit or negative year, a ValueError exception is raised. * * If accept2dyear is false (set by the program or as a result of a * non-empty value assigned to PYTHONY2K environment variable) all year * values are interpreted as given. */ It is easy to restore year >= 1900 limit for strftime, but I would rather add tests that time.strftime either produces correct values or raises ValueError and see if buildbots discover any platform bugs. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10827> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
