Since jython works with Java, why not use Java's time/datetime modules? Various links abound. Here are a few: http://www.raditha.com/blog/archives/000552.html http://www.xmission.com/~goodhill/dates/deltaDates.html http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t149657-find-difference-in-datetime-variables.html Maybe those will give you some hints.
