util: don't use mutable default argument value

I don't think this is any tight loops and we'd need to worry about
PyObject creation overhead. Also, I'm pretty sure strptime()
will be much slower than PyObject creation (date parsing is
surprisingly slow).

    sys.stderr.write("\n")
    traceback.print_stack(args[1], limit=10, file=sys.stderr)
    sys.stderr.write("----\n")
