The datetime module has what you need.
It has methods (with examples) on building a datetime object from a
string, and it has a object named timedelta, and the ability to subtract
a timedelta from a time.
For instance, the time right now and the time exactly one day ago:
from datetime import *
datetime.today()
datetime.datetime(2008, 7, 10, 13, 38, 48, 279539)
datetime.today()-timedelta(1)
datetime.datetime(2008, 7, 9, 13, 38, 50, 939580)

Thanks Gary! This works great. Now all I need to know is how to
plug the date into the datetime object from a string.
Use
*strptime*( date_string, format)
The format argument uses %-fields to describe how to pull data out of
the date_string.
It uses the same set of %-fields as the time modules strftime function
