Use datetime.strftime() on years before 1900? (“require year >= 1900”)

September 11, 2023 by Tarik

You can do the following:

>>> utctime.isoformat()
'1601-01-01T00:00:00.000050'

Now if you want to have exactly the same format as above:

iso = utctime.isoformat()
tokens = iso.strip().split("T")
last_visit_time = "Last visit time: %s %s" % (tokens[0], tokens[1].strip().split(".")[0])

Not that there seems to be a patch for strftime to fix this behavior here (not tested)
