Hi, I've recently subscribed to this list and received my first "Summary of Python tracker Issues". What I find annoying are the dates, for example: ACTIVITY SUMMARY (04/17/09 - 04/24/09) 3 x double-digits (have we learned nothing from Y2K? :-)) with the _middle_ ones changing fastest! I know it's the US standard, but Python is global. Could we have an 'international' style instead, say, year-month-day: ACTIVITY SUMMARY (2009-04-17 - 2009-04-24) Thank you for your attention, etc.

+1. ISO 8601 should be mandatory. -- Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis
Followups directed to Tracker-Discuss, where the people who can do something about it are hanging out. (They're here too, but I'm pretty sure they'd rather discuss this issue on that list.) Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis writes:
