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.

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.
