>From my brief reading of the some docs (eg postgresql) it looks like dates with less than 4 years do need to be prefixed with a zero, in the standard date format (some databases let you set different formats). But since python doesn't output a 0, I can see why its going wrong:
>>> datetime(999,1,1,1).year 999 Interestingly sqlite uses standard strftime http://www.sqlite.org/lang_datefunc.html: %Y year: 0000-9999 I thought the answer might be to use strftime but: >>> datetime(999,1,1,1).strftime('%Y') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: year=999 is before 1900; the datetime strftime() methods require year >= 1900 Which is this bug: http://bugs.python.org/issue1777412 This isn't a problem that I can imagine many people have run into, so sounds like a bug needing a patch.
