[New-bugs-announce] [issue2014] xmlrpclib cannot send datetime objects with dates before 1900

[Ralf Schmitt]

New submission from Ralf Schmitt:

xmlrpclib uses datetime.strftime which cannot handle dates before 1900.
this patch adds a custom date formatting function, which does not have
this restriction. It also contains 2 additional unit tests, which both
fail with the unpatched version.
