Summary: Python's strftime dislikes years before 1900
Initial Comment:
Python 2.5 (r25:51918, Sep 19 2006, 08:49:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.date(1876, 2, 3).strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: year=1876 is before 1900; the datetime strftime() methods require
year >= 1900
Apparently this is due to platform-specific weirdnesses in implementations of
strftime. It is still very annoying however. Perhaps a good implementation of
strftime could be found and incorporated into Python itself?
