I would be happy with just

if accept2dyear: if 69 <= y <= 99: y += 1900 elif 0 <= y <= 68: y += 2000 # call system function with tmyear = y - 1900

Perfect. That's what I expect from a "2 digits" option: it should not touch 3 (100..999) or 4 digits digits (>= 1000).

Remember that the "2 digit option" is a hack to workaround the y2k bug. It is maybe time to try to remove the workaround: disable accept2dyear by default and remove PYTHONY2K env var.

but I thought that would be too radical.

Why ?
