does that imply that tm.tmyear != tm[0]?

Fortunately not.

and should really all those of us who wouldn't dream of writing time or stat code in C have to suffer? -0.5 from me.

Call me old-fashioned, but I like struct fields with unique prefixes, in Python as well as in C. It's a hint about what kind of data structure we're looking at. And it greps nicely.
