Hi,

I've recently subscribed to this list and received my first "Summary of Python tracker Issues". What I find annoying are the dates, for example:

 ACTIVITY SUMMARY (04/17/09 - 04/24/09)

3 x double-digits (have we learned nothing from Y2K? :-)) with the middle ones changing fastest!

I know it's the US standard, but Python is global. Could we have an 'international' style instead, say, year-month-day:

 ACTIVITY SUMMARY (2009-04-17 - 2009-04-24)

Thank you for your attention, etc.
