I guess I get there eventually! This seems to work pdf_timeStamp = time.strftime("%m%d%y%H%M%S",time.localtime(os.path.getmtime(pdf))) intermediateTime = time.strptime(pdf_timeStamp, "%m%d%y%H%M%S") pdfFile_compareTime = time.mktime(intermediateTime)
(and I'll do the same to the user entered date-n-time and then compare) Lastly, so can anyone chime in and tell me if this is a good method or not? Is there a better way? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
