Hi, I'm a newbie to python but have some experience in programming. I came across this requirement of using datetime.date objects associated with some another object. eg. a dictionary containing datetime.date => string >> { datetime.date(2001, 12, 3): 'c', datetime.date(2001, 12, 1): 'a', datetime.date(2001, 12, 2): 'b' }
However, the sorting of the dict is not user configurable. The desired behavior would be to provide a datetime.date comparison function to do the sorting(eg. STL map). This may seem a trivial question but I couldn't figure out a way. Or else, I would have expected the datatime.date object has a writeable data member, so that iterating a calender with itermonthdates would allow me to access that data member. I would really appreciate if you would give me some pointers into this. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
