In the documentation for datetime.replace:

replace( year, month, day)
    Return a date with the same value, except for those
members given new values by whichever keyword arguments
are specified. For example, if d == date(2002, 12, 31),
then d.replace(day=26) == date(2000, 12, 26).

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/datetime-date.html

As I understand the method, either the 2002 should be
2000, or the 2000 should be 2002.  Regardless, they
should be the same year.
