-* **Year 2000 (Y2K) issues**: Python depends on the platform's C library, which
-  generally doesn't have year 2000 issues, since all dates and times are
-  represented internally as seconds since the epoch.  Function :func:`strptime`
-  can parse 2-digit years when given ``%y`` format code.  When 2-digit years are
-  parsed, they are converted according to the POSIX and ISO C standards: values
-  69--99 are mapped to 1969--1999, and values 0--68 are mapped to 2000--2068.
