I believe I am having a similar issue to this: http://bugs.python.org/issue7150
I am in the middle of programming a quick script and now I cannot seem to get beyond this issue; as it is printing up the expiration times from the AD user listings (many of which print 1601 year) it finally fails after the same user account, I have compared accounts and the expiration is the same as other accounts in AD: which is set to (never)
any ideas of what's going on here and how I can bypass this error?
error report: 
Traceback (most recent call last):
... line 14, in <module>
 print user.name + ": " + str(user.accountExpires)

for user in users.search (objectCategory='Person'):
 dn = user.distinguishedName
 dn = dn.encode("utf-8") #for the occasional apostrophe
 if "Adjuncts" in str(dn):
 print user.name + ": " + str(user.accountExpires)
print "done"
example output:
CN=John Hancock: 1601年01月01日 00:00:00
CN=Jane Smith: 1601年01月01日 00:00:00

I dug a little deeper using an error trap and found some of the problematic accounts in AD have their attribute set to a wildly long number and not 0 (as are others when 'never' is specified.) i'll dig further, it also does not seem to be an issue with python but more of an issue with the module I am using (active_directory) and its datetime handling (likely not fixed as was Python)
I don't think the issue is necessarily solved, but I'll close it anyways as I think I have atleast my solution now
