Howdy Kent,
Interesting question! Give this a shot:
import datetime
import time
import uuid
# get offset in seconds between the UUID timestamp Epoch (1582-10-15)
and
# the Epoch used on this computer
DTD_SECS_DELTA = (datetime.datetime(*time.gmtime(0)[0:3])-
datetime.datetime(1582, 10, 15)).day
Howdy,

date/time information from the 60 bit uuid1 timestamp.
Is there not a standard solution?
Thanks,
Kent
