I would do something like the following using datetime.datetime and datetime.timedelta: - convert each list item to a datetime object using datetime.strptime() - find the min and max datetimes in the list (use min() and max() - create a new list by incrementing the min date by timedelta(days=1) until it hits the max date - convert the new list to strings using datetime.strftime() Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
