Not sure this is exactly related, but I was using datetime the other day to make timestamps: >>> import datetime >>> ts = datetime.datetime.now().isoformat() >>> ts '2005-01-08T09:45:16.896805' and figured there would be an easy way to reverse that. Something along the lines of: dt = datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(ts) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
