title: What is the oldest time that can be represented in Python?
body: <p>I have written a function <code>comp(time1, time2)</code> which will return <code>True</code> when <code>time1</code> is less than <code>time2</code>. I have a scenario where <code>time1</code> should always be less than <code>time2</code>. I need <code>time1</code> to have the least possible value (i.e. represent the earliest possible moment). How can I get this time?</p>
