Have you read the entire time module document? If so, which functions
in that module take strings as arguments?.... then even more cranky stuff...
Indeed. Be not cranky at clueless bludgers and cargo-cultists ....
And since others are pointing you at datetime and othert places, I'll
just point out that I _did_, in fact, answer your question:
(1) The answer to the oblique clue is strptime.
(2) Only mktime takes a time_struct and returns a non-string.
import time
struct_time1 = time.strptime('14:11-01.07.09', '%H:%M-%m.%d.%y')
struct_time2 = time.strptime('14:18-01.07.09', '%H:%M-%m.%d.%y')
since_epoch1 = time.mktime(struct_time1)
since_epoch2 = time.mktime(struct_time2)
print int((since_epoch2 - since_epoch1) / 10)
Hmmmm.... where have I seen that number before?
A slightly less cranky kid because of the mollifying influence of
the ever-diplomatic John Machin.
