Thank you for the timely reply. I guess I got mixed up by looking at the Python 2.6.1 docs, but used the Python 2.5.1 interpreter: http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html wherein datetime.html does show the availability of the %f directive (if I'm reading all this correctly). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
