Possible to patch datetime.date.strftime as well as datetime.datetime.strftime?

[tonycpsu]

I'm getting bitten by the year < 1900 bug, so I was happy to find out about this module. However, I notice it only patches the strftime method for datetime.datetime objects, but for datetime.date objects. Would it be difficult to add support for date objects as well?

Here's an example of my problem:

import datetime
import virtualtime

virtualtime.enable()
dt = datetime.datetime(1876, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
print dt.strftime("%Y/%m/%d")
d = datetime.date(1876, 1, 1)
print d.strftime("%Y/%m/%d")

Here's the output:

1876/01/01


ValueErrorTraceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-4-07d3da85ef6c> in <module>()
      6 print dt.strftime("%Y/%m/%d")
      7 d = datetime.date(1876, 1, 1)
----> 8 print d.strftime("%Y/%m/%d")

ValueError: year=1876 is before 1900; the datetime strftime() methods require year >= 1900
