Your proposal is ambiguous. What does that mean? Can you give an example? > - Raise exceptions when an illegal or ambiguous datetime is instantated. You mean like they already do? >>> datetime.datetime(2008, 03, 35) # 35th of March Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: day is out of range for month As for ambiguous, how can datetime arguments be ambiguous? Help on class datetime in module datetime: class datetime(date) | datetime(year, month, day[, hour[, minute[, second[, microsecond[,tzinfo]]]]]) What possible ambiguity is there? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
