title: How to use time > year 2038 on official Windows Python 2.5
body: <p>The official Python 2.5 on Windows was build with Visual Studio.Net 2003, which uses 32 bit time_t. So when the year is > 2038, it just gives exceptions.</p>
  
  <p>Although this is fixed in Python 2.6 (which changed time_t to 64 bit with VS2008), I'd like to use 2.5 because many modules are already compiled for it.</p>
  
  <p>So here's my question - is there any solution to easily let my program handle year > 2038 and still using official Python 2.5? For example some pre-made libraries like <code>"time64"</code> or "longtime" etc...</p>
  
  <p>Please do not tell me to upgrade to 2.6+ or forget about the bug - I have my reason to need to make it work, that's why I post the question here.</p>
