Summary: calendar module overflow handling

Initial Comment:
The calendar module has lost a significant area of functionality in 
Python 2.3  
- that of handling overflows in the tuples passed to timegm(). 
 
Python 2.2.2 (#1, Oct 28 2002, 16:39:08) 
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)] on linux2 
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. 
>>> import time,calendar 
>>> time.gmtime(calendar.timegm((2003,1,30,0,0,0,0,0,0))) 
(2003, 1, 30, 0, 0, 0, 3, 30, 0) 
>>> time.gmtime(calendar.timegm((2003,2,30,0,0,0,0,0,0))) 
(2003, 3, 2, 0, 0, 0, 6, 61, 0) 
>>> 
 
Python 2.3a1 (#1, Feb  6 2003, 14:54:16) 
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)] on linux2 
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. 
>>> import time,calendar 
>>> time.gmtime(calendar.timegm((2003,1,30,0,0,0,0,0,0))) 
(2003, 1, 30, 0, 0, 0, 3, 30, 0) 
>>> time.gmtime(calendar.timegm((2003,2,30,0,0,0,0,0,0))) 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/calendar.py", line 216, in timegm 
    days = datetime.date(year, month, day).toordinal() - _EPOCH_ORD 
ValueError: day is out of range for month 
>>> 
 
 
Is this functionality likely to be reinstated for 2.3's release?
