Bug report

Bug description:

docs say:

%Y

Year with century as a decimal number.

0001, 0002, …, 2013, 2014, …, 9998, 9999

but this is what is happening

from datetime import datetime

print(datetime(9, 6, 7).strftime("%Y-%m-%d")) # 9-06-07
print(datetime(99, 6, 7).strftime("%Y-%m-%d")) # 99-06-07
print(datetime(999, 6, 7).strftime("%Y-%m-%d")) # 999-06-07
