But, Python's built in datetime isn't too bad and is similar and built-in if you don't want to use a third-party library. But: >>> birthday = mx.DateTime.Date(1960,3,3) >>> birthday <mx.DateTime.DateTime object for '1960-03-03 00:00:00.00' at 6211e0> >>> age = mx.DateTime.now() - birthday >>> print "Age in days", age.days 18113.722499758693 >>> print "Age in years", age.days / 365 49.626636985640253 I really can't quite fathom why you'd want to use something so low-level as time.mktime... or just about anything in the time module :) If you want to handle dates in a general way, I'd use one of the general-purpose date/time handling libraries. They're far more capable and easier to use. HTH, --S
