Yes, I didn't mean standard as in RFCed and recommended and dominant, sorry if it sounded that way. I meant just that it is quite common in many places, big and small. > I also don't understand your complaint about the fact that the one-liner > creates a timetuple. datetime stores the date and time information as > discrete fields, so generating a timetuple is a natural conversion path. Well, the timetuple is not a tuple, but an object filled with attributes. It contains a few more than are required for this conversion and it doesn't contain one that is required. Therefore I really see that as an inelegant and ineffective way to do the conversion. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2736> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
