No support for dates before 1900

[peterisb]

Django Version: 1.6.5
Exception Type: ValueError
Exception Value:
year=1899 is before 1900; the datetime strftime() methods require year >= 1900
Exception Location: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/import_export/widgets.py in render, line 92
Python Executable: /usr/bin/python
Python Version: 2.7.3

Some years ago fixed in django https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/1443

I think you just need to copy the same fix from #94 but change date to datetime:

def render(self, value):
    try:
        return value.strftime(self.format)
    except:
        return datetime_safe.new_datetime(value).strftime(self.format)
