Hey Everyone,

does anyone have a good age in years calculation function for usage with 
datetime.date that returns the age in nr of years of a person?

We were using:

def get_age(self):
    now = datetime.today()
    birthday = datetime(now.year, self.birthday.month, self.birthday.day)
    return now.year - self.birthday.year - (birthday > now)

But the trouble is that this fails for people whose birthday falls on a 
leap-day! ( bday = 1980-02-29 => birthday this year doesn't exist :-) )

For now I swaped to:

try:
  birthday = datetime(now.year, self.birthday.month, self.birthday.day)
except ValueError:
  birthday = datetime(now.year, self.birthday.month, self.birthday.day-1)

But that seems such a hack :-))
