New submission from Connor Wolf:
I'm using plistlib to process plist files produced by an iphone app. Somehow,
the application is generating plist files with a absolute date value along the
lines of `0000-12-30T00:00:00Z`.
This is a valid date, and the apple plist libraries can handle this without
issue. However, it causes a ValueError if you load a plist containing it.
Minimal example:
python file:
```
import plistlib
test = plistlib.readPlist('./test.plist')
```
plist file:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Test</key>
<date>0000-12-30T00:00:00Z</date>
</dict>
</plist>
```
This fails on both python3 and python2, with the exact same error:
```
herp@mainnas:/media/Storage/Scripts/pFail$ python3 test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 3, in <module>
