Also made similar changes to deque.reverse() though this wasn't

zipimport uses ASCII encoding instead of cp497 to decode filenames, at

non-ASCII filenames using the Unicode flag (UTF-8 encoding) for file entries in
the ZIP file.
length and a non-zero offset, and an attempt to read past the end of file

return -1 instead of the the buffer size to raise an exception.
Simplify also the function code.
function will now format any year when time.accept2dyear is false and
will accept years >= 1000 otherwise. The year range accepted by
time.mktime and time.strftime is still system dependent, but
time.mktime will now accept full range supported by the OS. Conversion
of 2-digit years to 4-digit is deprecated.
On Windows, set the binary mode on stdin, stdout, stderr and all
io.FileIO objects (to not translate newlines, \r\n <=> \n). The Python parser
translates newlines (\r\n => \n).
