# Python's datetime strftime doesn't handle dates before 1900.
# These classes override date and datetime to support the formatting of a date
# through its full "proleptic Gregorian" date range.
#
# Based on code submitted to comp.lang.python by Andrew Dalke
#
# >>> datetime_safe.date(1850, 8, 2).strftime("%Y/%M/%d was a %A")
# '1850/08/02 was a Friday'
