You are right! As far as I know, the limitation of strftime still remains in
the newest version of python under win32 (and any other platforms?).
So I think should web2py try to format date by code rather than strftime
function. Because the limitation of strftime datetime function will confine
us to use datetime in the database late than 1899-12-31, at least under
win32. It's sort of ridiculous.
