Here's how to do it as a one-liner:
python -c "import datetime; import time; print 'Only %d days until
Christmas' % (datetime.date(2004, 12, 25) -
datetime.date.fromtimestamp(time.time())).days"
Here's a slightly shorter way of doing it:

How about:
import datetime
import time
bd = "2004-11-25"
ed = "2004-11-30"
start = datetime.date.fromti

I can't imagine what could possibly be easier than subtracting two dates -
in fact, most times one has to jump through much more hoops to achieve
these results, e.g. in java.
I'll try that.

using time.strptime and datetime.date.fromtimestamp is surely the better
alternative, as it lets specify you the format by a str
Hi,
Is there a more pythonic way to write or do a date difference
calculation? I have as input two date fields in the form '-MM-DD'
TIA
