Please include this simpler test, which make clear that bug not just in
deprecated (I believe) rfc module. Also note:
Python 2.2.1 (#34, Apr 9 2002, 19:34:33) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os, sys
>>> os.utime("foo_test_file", (0, float(sys.maxint+1)))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: utime() arg 2 must be a tuple (atime, mtime)
which is quite sane. So maybe bug was introduced in 2.3 which you were
running.
