the check is performed every 10 Python virtual instructions. Setting

Julian day (1--366) and daylight savings flag (-1, 0 or 1).
Note that unlike the C structure, the month value is a range of 1-12, not
-0-11. A year value of $<$ 100 will typically be silently converted to
-1900 $+$ year value. A -1 argument as daylight savings flag, passed to
+0-11. A year value less than 100 will typically be silently converted to
+1900 plus the year value. A -1 argument as daylight savings flag, passed to
\code{mktime()} will usually result in the correct daylight savings
state to be filled in.
