Well, first you want to ensure that you're performing that math using floating point values, since dt.days and dt.seconds are integers. Thus: round((dt.days * 24. + dt.seconds / 3600.) / 4) In any case, it looks like you're counting the number of 4-hour periods since January 1, 2000. people.apache.org is in a different time zone, so it is reporting a different number of hours. That's all. btw, in Python, you don't really want/need those trailing semicolons :-) Cheers, -g
