Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.4 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Sadruddin Rejeb (sadrejeb) Assigned to: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Summary: datetime changes missing from "Porting from 2.3 to 2.4" Initial Comment: Since Python2.4, it's impossible to compare date and datetime when it was possible to do so in previous versions. I think this changed behaviour is missing from the "What's new in Python 2.4" documentation and should figure in the "porting from 2.3 to 2.4" section. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Date: 2005-06-09 11:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=11375 Change made to the CVS HEAD version of the document; it'll be backported to the 2.4 maintenance branch before any 2.4.2 release. Thanks for reporting this! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tim Peters (tim_one) Date: 2004-12-04 21:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=31435 The truth (which is more involved than your characterization) is in the NEWS file: """ SF bug #1028306: Trying to compare a ``datetime.date`` to a ``datetime.datetime`` mistakenly compared only the year, month and day. Now it acts like a mixed-type comparison: ``False`` for ``==``, ``True`` for ``!=``, and raises ``TypeError`` for other comparison operators. Because datetime is a subclass of date, comparing only the base class (date) members can still be done, if that's desired, by forcing using of the approprate date method; e.g., ``a_date.__eq__(a_datetime)`` is true if and only if the year, month and day members of ``a_date`` and ``a_datetime`` are equal.
