Re: [Zope] Representing dates before 1970 in DateTime

I have written a CV product for Zope. Basically it contains a list of competencies. Each competency has a start and end date.

I have used Zopes DateTime object for this, and that is the problem, as it will only go back to 1970.

In principle, "DateTime" can handle dates before "1970". Just some operations are broken, such as e.g. the constructor taking integer parameters. You can e.g. use "d= DateTime('1900/01/01')" and it gives you correctly 1900-01-01. Dieter
