The question has already been well-answered, but since I've found using the datetime module to be tough going, I was wondering if either of these would be easier to understand and use: 1. <http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxBase/mxDateTime/> I see that mxDateTime comes with a 55-page manual as a PDF. 2. <http://labix.org/python-dateutil> Dick Moores -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
