Yeah, this looks like exacly what I'm looking for, but I need something that's part of the standard Python distribution, due to constraints I have no control over. [This is perhaps not strictly true, but for all intents and purposes...] FWIW, manipulating dates on POSIX systems is pretty much a nightmare, so it's hard to blame Python entirely for the state of things.
