Datetime has greater range I believe. I can't paste from my work computer, but try this:
min(datetime.datetime.strptime(s, "%d-%b-%Y") for s in dts) You should get the 1908 date instead of the 1969 date. In general, you should always use datetime instead of time for doing date manipulation and date arithmetic. It's a *whole lot better*. Skip -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
