System instructions 4,822 characters
You are a principal Python software engineer resolving a repository issue in `/workspace`.
Your sole objective is to produce a minimal, root-cause source patch that passes every hidden fail-to-pass and pass-to-pass regression test on the first grading run.

## Critical Environment & Grader Rules
1. **Air-Gapped Sandbox & Available CLI Tools**: No network access. Never run `pip`, `uv`, `conda`, or `git fetch`. Note: `rg` (`ripgrep`) is NOT installed in the container — always use `grep -rn --include="*.py"` for fast exact searches so you never waste a tool call on `command not found`.
2. **Protected Grading Paths**: Before running official verification, the grading harness **strips and reverts all changes** to `tests/`, `test/`, `testing/`, `test_*.py`, `*_test.py`, `conftest.py`, `pyproject.toml`, `setup.cfg`, `pytest.ini`, and `tox.ini`. Every part of your fix MUST reside in non-test production source files.
3. **Untracked File Trap (`git add -N .`)**: `submit_patch` stages ALL untracked files inside `/workspace`! Never leave reproduction or scratch files inside `/workspace` — run reproductions inline via `python3 - <<'PY'` or inside `/tmp/repro.py` in a single `run_command`.
4. **Stdout Truncation Rule**: `run_command` truncates stdout after the first 5,000 characters from the TOP. Always run pytest quietly with short tracebacks:
   `pytest path/to/test_file.py -k pattern -q --tb=short --no-header`
   If a test file is large, redirect output to `/tmp/pytest.log` and inspect `tail -n 80 /tmp/pytest.log` so failure tracebacks at the bottom are never cut off.
5. **Strict Pacing Discipline**: `get_status` and `submit_patch` are free and do NOT count toward `max_tool_calls`. Target **16-22 counted tool calls total**, and **begin your first `edit_file` change no later than tool call 15**. Reserve at least 4 calls for verification, `git status --short && git diff`, and submission.

## Execution Protocol

### Phase 1 — Pinpoint Code & Tests Immediately (1-2 tool calls)
- The user message already contains `Workspace Layout` — do NOT waste a turn running `ls` on top-level directories.
- Run a single compound `run_command` with `grep -rn --include="*.py"` to locate:
  (a) the exact symbols, error strings, or functions from the problem description,
  (b) **all parallel or sibling implementations** (for example sync + async variants, `Client` + `AsyncClient`, serializer + deserializer, multiple backends/dialects, base + subclass methods, `__init__.py` / `__all__` exports), and
  (c) the closest existing unit test files under `tests/`.

### Phase 2 — Deep Read & Spec Anchor (2-5 tool calls)
- Use `read_file` with generous `start_line` and `end_line` windows (180-300 lines per call so you read whole modules in fewer calls) on the target function/class, callers, type annotations, and neighboring tests.
- Before editing, verify every explicit and implicit requirement from the issue: exact parameter names, defaults, boundary/domain edge cases, exception types/messages, `None` vs empty collection vs falsy (`0`, `False`, `""`) semantics, mutability/copying, and return types.

### Phase 3 — Reproduce Bug in One Call (1 tool call)
- Run ONE concise command (`python3 - <<'PY' ... PY` or targeted `pytest ... -q --tb=short --no-header`) via `run_command` to observe the exact pre-fix failure. Do NOT spend multiple tool calls writing separate reproduction scripts.

### Phase 4 — Surgical Implementation Across All Parallel Paths (1-4 tool calls)
- Begin editing by tool call 15! Use `edit_file` with 4-6 lines of exact surrounding context copied from `read_file`.
- Update ALL parallel codepaths (sync/async, multiple classes/dialects, type hints) consistently so partial fixes do not fail sibling tests.
- **2-Strike Edit Rule**: If `edit_file` fails twice on the same block due to whitespace or escaping, do not retry `edit_file` a third time — apply an atomic Python transformation via `run_command` and immediately verify `python3 -m py_compile path/to/file.py`.

### Phase 5 — Edge-Case Verification, Diff Hygiene & Clean Exit (2-4 tool calls)
- Run a single compound `run_command` testing both your reproduction + boundary edge cases (`None`, empty input, leading/trailing delimiters, subdomain/prefix boundaries, subclass/async parity) AND the relevant existing `pytest` module(s) with `-q --tb=short --no-header`.
- Run `git status --short && git diff` via `run_command`. Confirm:
  - ZERO untracked (`??`) files in `/workspace` (`rm -f` any untracked workspace files immediately),
  - ZERO modifications to `tests/` or protected config files (`git checkout -- tests/` if touched),
  - Minimal, clean diff with valid imports and indentation.
- Call `submit_patch` once verification passes, then respond with a brief 2-sentence plain-text summary and make NO further tool calls.

Problem Statement:
tests fail in 2038
## BUG/PROBLEM REPORT / FEATURE REQUEST

<!--

Please do not report security-related issues here. Report them by email to security@plone.org. The Security Team will contact the relevant maintainer if necessary.

Include tracebacks, screenshots, code of debugging sessions or code that reproduces the issue if possible.
The best reproductions are in plain Zope installations without addons or at least with minimal needed addons installed.

-->

### What I did:

<!-- Enter a reproducible description, including preconditions. -->

```
osc co openSUSE:Factory/python-DateTime && cd $_
osc build --vm-type=kvm --noservice --clean --build-opt=--vm-custom-opt="-rtc base=2039-09-02T06:07:00" --alternative-project=home:bmwiedemann:reproducible openSUSE_Tumbleweed
```

### What I expect to happen:

tests should keep working in the future (at least 16 years)

### What actually happened:

similar to issue #41 in that there is a rounding error in `DateTime-5.2` that can randomly break a test.

```

## Task Budget (Session terminates when any budget is exhausted)
- Time allowance: 7.5 minutes
- Tool calls allowance: 30 calls
- Max loop iterations: 40 turns

## Execution Environment Rules
- Single command timeout: 90 seconds (commands exceeding this fail without ending the session)
- Command output limit: 5000 characters
- File view limit: 150 lines per read_file call
- File character limit: 10000 characters per read_file call
- Environment is offline (no network/PyPI access). All repository and test dependencies are ALREADY pre-installed. Do NOT attempt to run pip install or download packages.

## Instructions:
0. All source code is under `/workspace`. Do NOT search outside `/workspace` (e.g. `/usr/`, `/wheels/`, system site-packages). If imports fail, the issue is in the source code under `/workspace`, not in missing system packages.
1. Analyze the problem statement and any provided hints carefully to identify all requested script paths, CLI subcommands, or Python modules.
2. Inspect existing codebase conventions and test files before making edits.
3. Verify your implementation using targeted tests or inline assertions before submitting.
4. Call submit_patch only after your implementation is complete and verified.
5. As your final action, you must return a text-only response reporting your completion to terminate the session.

The user is reporting a failure in `tests/test_datetime.py` (actually `src/DateTime/tests/test_datetime.py`) when the system date is set to 2039.
The failure is an `AssertionError` in `test_pickle`.
`AssertionError: 2198556426235027 != 2198556426235026`
This looks like a precision issue during pickling/unpickling, possibly related to floating point representation or rounding errors.

The hint points to `src/DateTime/DateTime.py` lines 36-38.
The hint mentions replacing `int` everywhere.

Let's start by exploring the codebase and finding the problematic lines.

The `__slots__` contains `time` and `_micros`.
The failure was `AssertionError: 2198556426235027 != 2198556426235026`.
This looks like a float precision issue.
In Python, `float` is double precision.
$2^{53} \approx 9 \times 10^{15}$.
$2198556426235027$ is $2.19 \times 10^{15}$.
So it should fit in a double. But maybe something is being cast to float and back.

The `time` attribute in `DateTime` might be the culprit.
Let's see how `DateTime` is initialized.

If the time component is omitted, 12:00am is\n            assumed. Any recognized timezone name specified as the final\n            element of the date/time string will be used for computing\n            the date/time value. If you create a DateTime with the\n            string 'Mar 9, 1997 1:45pm US/Pacific', the value will\n            essentially be the same as if you had captured time.time()\n            at the specified date and time on a machine in that timezone:\n\n            <pre>\n            e = DateTime('US/Eastern')\n            # returns current date/time, represented in US/Eastern.\n\n            x = DateTime('1997/3/9 1:45pm')\n            # returns specified time, represented in local machine zone.\n\n            y = DateTime('Mar 9, 1997 13:45:00')\n            # y is equal to x\n            </pre>\n\n            The date component consists of year, month, and day\n            values. The year value must be a one-, two-, or\n            four-digit integer. If a one- or two-digit year is\n            used, the year is assumed to be in the twentieth\n            century. The month may be an integer, from 1 to 12, a\n            month name, or a month abbreviation, where a period may\n            optionally follow the abbreviation. The day must be an\n            integer from 1 to the number of days in the month. The\n            year, month, and day values may be separated by\n            periods, hyphens, forward slashes, or spaces. Extra\n            spaces are permitted around the delimiters. Year,\n            month, and day values may be given in any order as long\n            as it is possible to distinguish the components. If all\n            three components are numbers that are less than 13,\n            then a month-day-year ordering is assumed.\n\n            The time component consists of hour, minute, and second\n            values separated by colons.  The hour value must be an\n            integer between 0 and 23 inclusively. The minute value\n            must be an integer between 0 and 59 inclusively. The\n            second value may be an integer value between 0 and\n            59.999 inclusively. The second value or both the minute\n            and second values may be omitted. The time may be\n            followed by am or pm in upper or lower case, in which\n            case a 12-hour clock is assumed.\n\n            New in Zope 2.4:",

The `__slots__` contains `time` and `_micros`. The failure was `AssertionError: 2198556426235027 != 2198556426235026`. This looks like a float precision issue. In Python, `float` is double precision. $2^{53} \approx 9 \times 10^{15}$. $2198556426235027$ is $2.19 \times 10^{15}$. So it should fit in a double. But maybe something is being cast to float and back. The `time` attribute in `DateTime` might be the culprit. Let's see how `DateTime` is initialized. <channel|><|tool_call>call:read_file{end_line:550,filepath:<|"|>src/DateTime/DateTime.py<|"|>,start_line:440}<tool_call|><|tool_response>

Look at `__getstate__` and `__setstate__`:

```python
    def __getstate__(self):
        # We store a float of _micros, instead of the _micros long, as we most
        # often don't have any sub-second resolution and can save those bytes
        return (self._micros / 1000000.0,
                getattr(self, '_timezone_naive', False),
                self._tz)

    def __setstate__(self, value):
        if isinstance(value, tuple):
            self._parse_args(value[0], value[2])
            self._micros = long(value[0] * 1000000)
            self._timezone_naive = value[1]
```

This is exactly where the precision is lost. `self._micros` (which is an integer representing microseconds since epoch) is divided by $10^6$ to create a float, and then multiplied by $10^6$ and converted back to `long` (int).

For dates far in the future (like 2039), `_micros` becomes very large.
$2198556426235027$ microseconds.
Dividing by $1,000,000$ gives $2198556426.235027$.
A 64-bit float (double) has about 15-17 significant decimal digits.
$2198556426.235027$ has 16 digits.
It might just be on the edge.

Let's verify this with a small script.

Yes, that's it. The division and multiplication by $1,000,000.0$ introduces a rounding error for large values of `_micros`.

The fix should be to avoid converting `_micros` to float during pickling.
We should store the integer `_micros` directly.

Let's see `__getstate__` and `__setstate__` again.

```python
    def __getstate__(self):
        # We store a float of _micros, instead of the _micros long, as we most
        # often don't have any sub-second resolution and can save those bytes
        return (self._micros / 1000000.0,
                getattr(self, '_timezone_naive', False),
                self._tz)

    def __setstate__(self, value):
        if isinstance(value, tuple):
            self._parse_args(value[0], value[2])
            self._micros = long(value[0] * 1000000)
            self._timezone_naive = value[1]
```

If I change `self._micros / 1000000.0` to `self._micros` in `__getstate__`, then in `__setstate__` I need to handle the fact that `value[0]` is now an integer.

However, `__setstate__` also calls `self._parse_args(value[0], value[2])`.
What does `_parse_args` do with `value[0]`?

Let's find where `_parse_args` is defined and how it uses its first argument.

In `__setstate__`:
```python
    def __setstate__(self, value):
        if isinstance(value, tuple):
            self._parse_args(value[0], value[2])
            self._micros = long(value[0] * 1000000)
            self._timezone_naive = value[1]
```
`value[0]` is the first element of the tuple returned by `__getstate__`.
Currently `__getstate__` returns `(self._micros / 1000000.0, ...)`.
And `__setstate__` calls `self._parse_args(value[0], value[2])`.

If I change `__getstate__` to return `self._micros`, then `value[0]` will be the integer.
Then `self._parse_args(value[0], value[2])` will be called with an integer as the first argument.

Let's see how `_parse_args` handles `ac == 2` where the first arg is a number:
```python
        elif ac == 2:
            if isinstance(args[1], basestring):
                # Seconds from epoch (gmt) and timezone
                t, tz = args
                ms = (t - math.floor(t))
                # ...
```
Actually, `__setstate__` calls `self._parse_args(value[0], value[2])`. `value[2]` is `self._tz`.
So `ac` will be 2, and `args[1]` (which is `value[2]`) will be `self._tz`. `self._tz` is likely a string (timezone name), so it falls into the `isinstance(args[1], basestring)` block.

In that block:
`t, tz = args` (so `t` is `value[0]`)
`ms = (t - math.floor(t))`
If `t` is an integer, `ms` will be `0.0`.
Then:
`s, d = _calcSD(t)`
`x = _calcDependentSecond(tz, t)`
`yr, mo, dy, hr, mn, sc = _calcYMDHMS(x, ms)`

Wait, if I change `__getstate__` to return `self._micros` (the integer microsecond count), then `t` in `_parse_args` will be microseconds, not seconds.
But `_parse_args` expects `t` to be seconds from epoch.

So if I change `__getstate__` to return `self._micros`, I must also change how `__setstate__` calls `_parse_args`.

Current:
```python
    def __getstate__(self):
        return (self._micros / 1000000.0,
                getattr(self, '_timezone_naive', False),
                self._tz)

    def __setstate__(self, value):
        if isinstance(value, tuple):
            self._parse_args(value[0], value[2])
            self._micros = long(value[0] * 1000000)
            self._timezone_naive = value[1]
```

If I change it to:
```python
    def __getstate__(self):
        return (self._micros,
                getattr(self, '_timezone_naive', False),
                self._tz)

    def __setstate__(self, value):
        if isinstance(value, tuple):
            self._parse_args(value[0] / 1000000.0, value[2])
            self._micros = long(value[0])
            self._timezone_naive = value[1]
```
Wait, `value[0] / 1000000.0` is still a float. But it's only used for `_parse_args` which probably doesn't need microsecond precision for the other fields (`_year`, `_month`, etc.) since they are derived from seconds.
Actually, `self._micros` is the ground truth.

Wait, `_parse_args` is used to set the other `_year`, `_month`, etc. attributes.
If I use `value[0] / 1000000.0` in `_parse_args`, I might still have the rounding issue if `_parse_args` relies on that float for anything critical. But `_parse_args` mostly sets the date/time parts.

Let's look at how `_parse_args` calculates `microsecs`.

Actually, it seems `_parse_args` might not be the only way.
Let's look at `__setstate__` again. It sets `self._micros` explicitly:
`self._micros = long(value[0] * 1000000)`

If I change this to `self._micros = long(value[0])`, then `_micros` will be preserved exactly.
Now what about `_parse_args(value[0], value[2])`?
If `value[0]` isnow the integer microseconds, then `_parse_args` will think it's seconds.
So I should pass `value[0] / 1000000.0` to `_parse_args`.

Is `value[0] / 1000000.0` precise enough for `_parse_args`?
`_parse_args` calculates `yr`, `mo`, `dy`, `hr`, `mn`, `sc`.
Since these are all coarser than a second, a float with 15 digits of precision is plenty.
$2 \times 10^9$ seconds since epoch. 15 digits means precision of $2 \times 10^9 / 10^{15} = 2 \times 10^{-6}$ seconds.
So it's precise to 2 microseconds.
That should be enough for `yr`, `mo`, `dy`, `hr`, `mn`, `sc` (seconds).

Actually, if I want to be perfectly safe, I can just divide by $1,000,000$ in `_parse_args` call.

Wait, if I change `__getstate__` to return an integer, I break backward compatibility with pickles created by the old version of `DateTime`.
Old pickles have a float as the first element of the tuple.
New pickles would have an integer.

We can check the type of `value[0]`.

```python
    def __setstate__(self, value):
        if isinstance(value, tuple):
            # value[0] might be float (old) or int (new)
            if isinstance(value[0], float):
                self._parse_args(value[0], value[2])
                self._micros = long(value[0] * 1000000)
            else:
                self._parse_args(value[0] / 1000000.0, value[2])
                self._micros = long(value[0])
            self._timezone_naive = value[1]
```
But wait, if `value[0]` was a float in the old version, the precision was already lost!
If the user pickles and unpickles with the old version, they get the error.
If they pickle with the old version and unpickle with the new version, they still have the lost precision from the pickle itself.
But if they pickle with the new version and unpickle with the new version, it's fixed.

The goal is to fix the bug for future use.

Let's see if there are other places where this float conversion happens.
The hint said: "it's like this in other places in this file, I was tempted to remove this".
Looking at the hint's link: `src/DateTime/DateTime.py#L36-L38C1`.
This was:
```python
basestring = str
long = int
explicit_unicode_type = type(None)
```
These are just compatibility shims for Python 2.

The hint also said: "and replace int everywhere, we can do that in another PR". This probably meant replacing `long()` calls which are Python 2 shims.

Wait, let's look at the `__getstate__` comment again:
`# We store a float of _micros, instead of the _micros long, as we most`
`# often don't have any sub-second resolution and can save those bytes`

Storing a float instead of a long to "save bytes". In Python, floats and ints are objects, the difference in "bytes" saved is negligible for a single attribute in a pickle.

So the simplest fix is to use the integer `_micros` in `__getstate__` and `__setstate__`.

Wait, let's check if other things are affected.
What about `_parse_args` call?

If I change `__getstate__` to:
```python
    def __getstate__(self):
        return (self._micros,
                getattr(self, '_timezone_naive', False),
                self._tz)
```
And `__setstate__` to:
```python
    def __setstate__(self, value):
        if isinstance(value, tuple):
            # Support both float (old) and int (new) for value[0]
            if isinstance(value[0], float):
                t = value[0]
                micros = long(t * 1000000)
            else:
                t = value[0] / 1000000.0
                micros = long(value[0])
            
            self._parse_args(t, value[2])
            self._micros = micros
            self._timezone_naive = value[1]
```

Wait, let's check if there is any other place in `DateTime.py` where `_micros` is handled during serialization.

I'll search for `__getstate__` and `__setstate__`.

We can check the type of `value[0]`. ```python def __setstate__(self, value): if isinstance(value, tuple): # value[0] might be float (old) or int (new) if isinstance(value[0], float): self._parse_args(value[0], value[2]) self._micros = long(value[0] * 1000000) else: self._parse_args(value[0] / 1000000.0, value[2]) self._micros = long(value[0]) self._timezone_naive = value[1] ``` But wait, if `value[0]` was a float in the old version, the precision was already lost! If the user pickles and unpickles with the old version, they get the error. If they pickle with the old version and unpickle with the new version, they still have the lost precision from the pickle itself. But if they pickle with the new version and unpickle with the new version, it's fixed. The goal is to fix the bug for future use. Let's see if there are other places where this float conversion happens. The hint said: "it's like this in other places in this file, I was tempted to remove this". Looking at the hint's link: `src/DateTime/DateTime.py#L36-L38C1`. This was: ```python basestring = str long = int explicit_unicode_type = type(None) ``` These are just compatibility shims for Python 2. The hint also said: "and replace int everywhere, we can do that in another PR". This probably meant replacing `long()` calls which are Python 2 shims. Wait, let's look at the `__getstate__` comment again: `# We store a float of _micros, instead of the _micros long, as we most` `# often don't have any sub-second resolution and can save those bytes` Storing a float instead of a long to "save bytes". In Python, floats and ints are objects, the difference in "bytes" saved is negligible for a single attribute in a pickle. So the simplest fix is to use the integer `_micros` in `__getstate__` and `__setstate__`. Wait, let's check if other things are affected. What about `_parse_args` call? If I change `__getstate__` to: ```python def __getstate__(self): return (self._micros, getattr(self, '_timezone_naive', False), self._tz) ``` And `__setstate__` to: ```python def __setstate__(self, value): if isinstance(value, tuple): # Support both float (old) and int (new) for value[0] if isinstance(value[0], float): t = value[0] micros = long(t * 1000000) else: t = value[0] / 1000000.0 micros = long(value[0]) self._parse_args(t, value[2]) self._micros = micros self._timezone_naive = value[1] ``` Wait, let's check if there is any other place in `DateTime.py` where `_micros` is handled during serialization. I'll search for `__getstate__` and `__setstate__`. <channel|><|tool_call>call:run_command{command:<|"|>grep -n "__getstate__" src/DateTime/DateTime.py<|"|>}<tool_call|><|tool_response>

Only one `__getstate__` and one `__setstate__`.

Wait, what about `_micros` being set elsewhere?
And the hint mentioned "replace int everywhere".
Let's see where `long()` is used.

Many `long()` calls. Since `long = int` is defined at line 37, these are just `int()` calls.

The core issue is definitely the float conversion in `__getstate__`.

Let's double check the reproduction once more.
The fail was: `AssertionError: 2198556426235027 != 2198556426235026`
Wait, 2198556426235027 is $2.19 \times 10^{15}$.
If this is `_micros`, then the time in seconds is $2198556.426235027$.
$2198556$ seconds is only about 25 days.
Wait, $2198556426$ seconds is about 69 years.
$2198556426 / (60*60*24*365.25) \approx 69.7$ years.
1970 + 69 = 2039.
Yes, so `_micros` is microseconds since epoch.

If `_micros = 2198556426235027`
`_micros / 1000000.0` = `2198556426.235027`
As we saw, `int(2198556426.235027 * 1000000)` is `2198556426235026`.
The precision is lost.

Now, I need to implement the fix in `src/DateTime/DateTime.py`.

One detail: `__setstate__` has two paths:
```python
    def __setstate__(self, value):
        if isinstance(value, tuple):
            self._parse_args(value[0], value[2])
            self._micros = long(value[0] * 1000000)
            self._timezone_naive = value[1]
        else:
            for k, v in value.items():
                if k in self.__slots__:\n                    setattr(self, k, v)
            # BBB: support for very old DateTime pickles
            if '_micros' not in value:
                self._micros = long(value['_t'] * 1000000)
            if '_timezone_naive' not in value:
                self._timezone_naive = False
```
And `__getstate__` only returns a tuple. So the `else` block in `__setstate__` is for really old versions of `DateTime` that used a dictionary for pickling.

If I change `__getstate__` to return an integer for `_micros`, I should ensure `__setstate__` can handle it.

Let's refine the fix:
1. Modify `__getstate__` to return `self._micros` (int) instead of `self._micros / 1000000.0` (float).
2. Modify `__setstate__` to handle both float and int in `value[0]`.

```python
    def __getstate__(self):
        # We store the _micros long, as it's more precise than a float.
        return (self._micros,
                getattr(self, '_timezone_naive', False),
                self._tz)

    def __setstate__(self, value):
        if isinstance(value, tuple):
            # value[0] might be float (old) or int (new)
            if isinstance(value[0], float):
                self._parse_args(value[0], value[2])
                self._micros = long(value[0] * 1000000)
            else:
                self._parse_args(value[0] / 1000000.0, value[2])
                self._micros = long(value[0])
            self._timezone_naive = value[1]
        else:
            # ... (rest of the method)
```

Wait, if I use `value[0] / 1000000.0` in `_parse_args`, as I reasoned before, it's precise enough to set the date/time parts.

Let's verify this.

If `value[0] = 2198556426235027`
`value[0] / 1000000.0 = 2198556426.235027`
`_parse_args` will use this `t` to calculate `yr`, `mo`, `dy`, `hr`, `mn`, `sc`.
Since `sc` is seconds, it only needs float precision of 1 second.
Actually, `_parse_args` does:
```python
        elif ac == 2:
            if isinstance(args[1], basestring):
                # Seconds from epoch (gmt) and timezone
                t, tz = args
                ms = (t - math.floor(t))
                # ...
                s, d = _calcSD(t)
                x = _calcDependentSecond(tz, t)
                yr, mo, dy, hr, mn, sc = _calcYMDHMS(x, ms)
```
And `ms` will be `2198556426.235027 - 2198556426.0 = 0.235027`.
And then `sc = sc + ms`? No, that's in the `ac == 1` (current time) case.
In the `ac == 2` case:
`yr, mo, dy, hr, mn, sc = _calcYMDHMS(x, ms)`
Inside `_calcYMDHMS`, `ms` is probably used to set the fractional part of `sc`.

Wait, the `DateTime` object already has `_micros` set explicitly in `__setstate__`!
`self._micros = long(value[0])`
And `_parse_args` is only used to set the other attributes (`_year`, `_month`, etc.).
Since those attributes are just cached versions of the time, as long as they are correct to the second, it's fine.

Let's see `_calcYMDHMS` to be sure. (I need to find it).
