[New-bugs-announce] [issue28067] Do not call localtime in datetime module

[Alexander Belopolsky]

New submission from Alexander Belopolsky:

POSIX localtime function mutates global state which leads to subtle bugs on some platforms.  We should call localtime_r or localtime_s instead.

See issue 22627.
