__init__.py

import datetime

print "Now killing strftime."


class CleanDateTime(datetime.datetime):
    def strftime(self, format):
        raise NotImplemented(
            "Strftime doesn't support dates prior to 1900 and as a "
            "consequence CourtListener nukes them from the standard library. "
            "We recognize this sucks and is inconvenient, but it beats "
            "having your code crash the first time it runs against an old "
            "item. You'll live."
        )


class CleanDate(datetime.date):
    def strftime(self, format):
        raise NotImplemented(
            "Strftime doesn't support dates prior to 1900 and as a "
            "consequence CourtListener nukes them from the standard library. "

datetime.datetime = CleanDateTime
datetime.date = CleanDate
