Issue 39536: Datetime strftime: %Y exports years < 1000 with 3 digits instead of 4 on Linux
This two examples are pretty simple. On MacOS stftime %Y works as expected, retrieving 4 digits: Python 3.7.6 (default, Dec 30 2019, 19:38:26) [Clang 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.16)] on darwin > datetime.strftime(datetime.now().replace(year=100), "%Y-%m-%d") '0100-02-03' But on Linux...: Python 3.7.6 (default, Jan 3 2020, 23:35:31) [GCC 8.3.0] on linux > datetime.strftime(datetime.now().replace(year=100), "%Y-%m-%d") '100-02-03' This causes a lot of trouble when storing and then retrieving string dates from any string based storage.
