you mean ISO format, right? the easiest way is probably to use the time.strptime module to parse the original string into a time tuple, and then use time.strftime to format the tuple as an ISO date: >>> s = "Dec 06, 2000" >>> t = time.strptime(s, "%b %d, %Y") >>> t (2000, 12, 6, 0, 0, 0, 2, 341, -1) >>> time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d", t) '2000-12-06' also see: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
