[Calendarserver-maintainers] Bug#574133: Import of Google Calendar ICAL file fails with "year is out of range" parse error

[Daniel Watkins]

Package: python-vobject
Version: 0.8.1c-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Google allows iCal entries to have a datetime with year set to 0.  Python objects to this, as 0 is less than datetime.MIN_YEAR.  The patch just normalises the year info to be within Python's year bounds.
