Hi List I am working on an app to store guitar songs I am practicing, and for the fun of it I want to store the date of songs when they were originally made. So far so good..
However, my taste of music is "Rag Time Blues" and that os OLD, very OLD music. So it happened I entered a song from the date " 28 dec 1928". It appears time.mktime cannot handle these 'extremities' ? I get an overflow error. is there by any chance a solution to this? I do know modern languages support at least 1900 as date (and now that I come to think of it, songs from J.S. Bach are excluded from entering as well) .. This is what I try: >>> time.mktime((1928, 12,28, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module> OverflowError: mktime argument out of range The only solution I can think of is making a custom time class that handles all years, dates and months, but that is plain silly. I want to be able to use the long date formatting etc, and that would mean rewriting that part as well. Any help is appreciated! - Jorgen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
