TJ added the comment: Thanks for the pointer to #5288. Happy to consolidate there.
In my reading of #5094 (from which I pulled your RFC 2822 reference), the justification I found was "For the allowable range, follow the datetime docs as someone might be relying on that specification already". But this didn't explain why it was in the spec in the first place, and that is the decision I thought was arbitrary, not the decision to maintain the restriction. Splitting hairs at this point. Looking forward to the restriction being removed. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24979> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
