In Mac/Modules/file/_Filemodule.c UTCDateTime values are 
converted using these functions:
 
static int
UTCDateTime_Convert(PyObject *v, UTCDateTime *ptr)
{
        return PyArg_Parse(v, "(HlH)", &ptr->highSeconds, &ptr-
>lowSeconds, &ptr->fraction);
}

static PyObject *
UTCDateTime_New(UTCDateTime *ptr)
{
        return Py_BuildValue("(HlH)", ptr->highSeconds, ptr-
>lowSeconds, ptr->fraction);
}

Shouldn't the format string be "(HLH)" in both cases? The struct
definition of UTCDateTime contains unsigned times (UInt16, UInt32
and UInt16).

The same problem is present in Python 2.3

Closing this as won't fix. Nobody else complained and changing this might
break existing code.
