Sorry, this is a limitation of the current Python versions, and we absolutely don't want to use the non-portable MX libraries, or re-implement our own datetime library. The issue has been reported upstream by many people, feel free to insist on it, an example here: http://bugs.python.org/issue1777412
The clients now warn about the date range limitation, which is of course better than the error you were seeing. Thanks for the report! ** Bug watch added: Python Roundup #1777412 http://bugs.python.org/issue1777412 ** Changed in: openobject-client Status: In Progress => Won't Fix ** Changed in: openobject-client Assignee: Jay (OpenERP) (jvo-openerp) => (unassigned) -- limited date range https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/413197 You received this bug notification because you are a member of C2C OERPScenario, which is subscribed to the OpenERP Project Group.
