This is a great opportunity to implement two requests at once. Some people want high precision datetime objects while others would like to see a datetime implementation that works with dates BC. >>> from datetime import datetime, timedelta >>> epoch = datetime.datetime(1970, 1, 1) >>> epoc - timedelta(days=1969*365.242) datetime.datetime(1, 1, 1, 12, 2, 52, 799998) >>> epoch - timedelta(days=1970*365.242) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OverflowError: date value out of range > 2.
