Ok, I've figured this out. >>> import os, time >>> date = '10 August 2005 at 17:26 BST' >>> format = '%d %B %Y at %H:%M %Z' >>> os.environ['TZ'] = 'Europe/London' >>> time.strptime(date, format) (2005, 8, 10, 17, 26, 0, 2, 222, 1)
Works (unsuprisingly) as advertised at the bottom of this page: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html And now I'm a little closer to understanding why. :) -- Adam Monsen http://adammonsen.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
