Just because an exception occurs in a function doesn't mean that function is broken: its documented as accepting a 10 item tuple, only. Functions in the stdlib generally -should- throw exceptions on invalid input. Someone's passing None into it, which its not allowed to do. So -that's- where the bug probably is, I think. (Although it may not be the immediate of mktime_tz; it could be happening higher up on the stack) Advice: Always post complete tracebacks to c.p.l/python-list :) --S
