"Rod." wrote I hope this is the right place to ask.. a thousand apologies in advance if it isnt! My workplace uses Zope quite heavily for internal database work, and management wants to know if its y2k compliant.
Hm. Can't remember if this is on the Zope site or not. Zope's date/times are in the DateTime module. The correct operation of this depends on your python implementation being compliant, which largely depends on your C library being compliant. Of course, you can still write stupid code that's got 2-digit years in it, which will crash and burn badly. But that shouldn't be a problem.
I assumed it was (being so clevery designed, with a modern language like python) but an official thumbs up from someone who is familliar with its internals would be most appreciated.
Well most of the DC guys are at Linuxworld, so I don't know that you'll see one in the next couple of days. Check the www.python.org website, too. http://www.python.org/doc/FAQ.html#2.11
