In 2.3, time.strptime became a pure-Python routine, thus losing its dependency on the existence and correctness of the strptime in the C library. However, the whole time module has a problem: the range of years it handles -- 1970 to 2038 (maybe). This is documented on the first page of The Fine Manual. Not very useful for customer's date of birth, and (as Brendan indicated), likely to cause Y2.038K problems. Cheers, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
