Comment (by jamesh):

 The Python datetime type does not seem to support BC dates:

   {{{
 >>> from datetime import date, timedelta
 >>> dt = date(1,1,1)
 >>> dt.isoformat()
 '0001-01-01'
 >>> dt - timedelta(days=1)
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 OverflowError: date value out of range
 }}}

 So it isn't just a simple matter of adding code to interpret the "BC"
 suffix.
