Having issues with ebook-convert not honoring the oldest_article attribute in recepies. Instead, all artices in the feed are downloaded.

I am running this on a Raspberry Pi (which has no hardware clock), so I thought maybe something was wrong with the dates, but I have tested both linux date command and python datetime and they both work fine. (See examples below.)

Any ideas as to what might be causing oldest_article to not work?

Edit: Added python version below.

Date output (Linux)

Code:

root@raspberrypi:~# date
Mon Jul  9 11:54:30 CEST 2012

Date output (Python using datetime.datetime.now())

Code:

Current date and time using str method of datetime object:
2012-07-09 11:55:16.431494

Version info:

Code:

root@raspberrypi:~/calibre# ebook-convert --version
ebook-convert (calibre 0.8.51)

Python version:

Code:

root@raspberrypi:~# python --version
Python 2.7.3rc2
