It turns out that the get_uptime() does /not/ calculate the boottime from the current clock minus the uptime. Its a seconds-since-epoch (absolute!) value written into the /proc/stat file , *which gets fricking changed when you change the date/time*. In other words, all our "must be local time related" musings are not worth the paper they where written on. :-) Regards, Rudy Wieser -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
