I'll try. The current implementation is of time.asctime and
time.strftime is roughly
if y < 1900:
if accept2dyear:
if 69 <= y <= 99:
y += 1900
elif 0 <= y <= 68:
y += 2000
else:
raise ValueError("year out of range")
else:
raise ValueError("year out of range")
# call system function with tm_year = y - 1900
I propose to change that to
if y < 1000:
if accept2dyear:
if 69 <= y <= 99:
y += 1900
elif 0 <= y <= 68:
y += 2000
else:
raise ValueError("year out of range")
# call system function with tm_year = y - 1900
