[issue25534] SimpleHTTPServer throwed an exception due to negtive st_mtime attr in file

Perhaps you have a timezone set (I don’t). This might work better:

touch -d "1 Jan 1900 UTC" test

My thinking is if os.stat() returns a negative timestamp from the OS (GNU C library in the case of Linux), it may be worth trying gmtime() on that value since it also calls the OS (glibc) function.
