For a site with historical references, we're going to store a date on content types. However, Zope's 'DateTime' only supports dates from 1900 [1] whereas the site may refer to a long time before that. It might even be that we have dates where the year is a negative number. (Not billions, but maybe tens of thousands.)
Python's 'datetime' goes back as far as the year 1, so even that may not be sufficient, and strftime doesn't work for years before 1901 [2], so that's not a big help either. I'm guessing that using separate fields for year, month and day will be a good enough solution for us, for now. Is there anyone who has experience with this use case, and what did you do?
