I want to compare a user entered date-and-time against the date-and-time of a pdf file. I posted on this (how to get a file's date-time) before, was advised to do it like:
import datetime, os, stat mtime = os.lstat(filename)[stat.ST_MTIME] // the files modification time dt = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(mtime) I am having problems with the comparison, that line is failing. I think I may have figured out the issue -- I think it is a matter of the file's time being 'aware' and the user-input date-time being 'naive'. The user-input date-time has a parameter type of date (calender and time tool supplied to enter), but is it 'aware'? The comparison is not working so I think that it is not aware. I can successfully compare two pdf file times against one another. So, is there a way to cast that user-input value (prints as 2/10/2012 3:19:57 PM) as an 'aware' date-time? How? And can anyone confirm that my findings are probably correct? Thanks for any help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
