that's a Unix problem (time_t is 32 bits), not a
Python problem per se.  

search the web for "2038" for more info.

(and sure, if Unix doesn't fix this before then, I
promise we'll work around that bug in Python)

if you really need it, I'm pretty sure you can combine
calendar.py with Demo/classes/Dates.py into something
that (literally) works until the end of time.
