New submission from R <rtobarc at gmail.com>:
This is a problem caused by https://bugs.python.org/issue13305.
When running python in SerenityOS (https://serenityos.org/), the xmlrpc.client module fails to be imported. This is because the code that decides which format to use for getting 4-digit years, which issues a call to strfmt, raises a ValueError. The ValueError is raised because the second format that is tested yields no output with Serenity's strfmt implementation, so timemodule.strfmt returns NULL.
For reference, this is the code that fails:
_day0 = datetime(1, 1, 1)
if _day0.strftime('%Y') == '0001': # Mac OS X
def _iso8601_format(value):
return value.strftime("%Y%m%dT%H:%M:%S")
elif _day0.strftime('%4Y') == '0001': # Linux <-- ValueError
def _iso8601_format(value):
return value.strftime("%4Y%m%dT%H:%M:%S")
else:
def _iso8601_format(value):
return value.strftime("%Y%m%dT%H:%M:%S").zfill(17)
del _day0
We have a local patch that improves on the current code, which I'll post as a PR now.
