I have a web app that has been running just fine for several months under Python 2.2.2.
We are preparing to upgrade the server to run Python 2.4.1.
However, part of my web app is throwing an error on this code (that has previously worked without exception):
time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d", (Y, M, D, 0,0,0,0,0,0))
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ValueError: day of year out of range
Y
2005
M
5
D
15L
I don't see what parts of the date that I have submitted to strftime are out of range?
Also, the phrasing of the error message is a bit odd? "day of year out of range"
I'm not sure what the day of a year
would be???

The day of the year is the ordinal number of the day, counting from Jan. 1st. So, Feb. 1st is the 32nd day, Dec 31 the 365/6 (depending on leap year).
The docs for the time module indicate that the 8th (counting from 1) position of a struct_time is the day of the year, and that it can range from 1-366. So, naturally, the 0 value in your 8th position is the problem.
That does leave the mystery of why your code worked on 2.2.2; I've no idea. The docs do seem to indicate that there were a number of changes at 2.2, though.
