           Summary: GenBank FeatureParser converts dates from 4 digits to
                    TWO!
           Product: Biopython
           Version: Not Applicable
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main Distribution
        AssignedTo: biopython-dev at biopython.org
        ReportedBy: mcolosimo at mitre.org


People spent millions, maybe, billions at the end of the 1990s to fix this
problem and some how biopython undoes it.

Given a LOCUS line with the date of "23-AUG-2002", using FeatureParser converts
it to "23-AUG-02".

It seems that GenBank._Scanner._feed_locus seems to do the correct thing. So
I'm at a loss at this time as to what is doing this "cleaning", but it would be
nice to keep it as YYYY.
