1.) I wonder, why we need to use a special format for the date element? Why not use: attr['date'] = child.content instead of: attr['date'] = int(time.mktime(time.strptime(child.content, fmt)))
2.) Is the format of the date element in xmltv always either %Y-%m-%d or %Y? In the xmltv.dtd I found: """" "All dates and times in this DTD follow the same format, loosely based "on ISO 8601. They can be 'YYYYMMDDhhmmss' or some initial "substring, for example if you only know the year and month you can "have 'YYYYMM'. You can also append a timezone to the end; if no "explicit timezone is given, UTC is assumed. Examples: "'200007281733 BST', '200209', '19880523083000 +0300'. (BST == +0100.) """" Thus a real xmltv file with date info that contains more than just the year, also would fail! 3.) Still my grabber should be compatible with xmltv, thus I will have to change its behaviour and deal with the 1994/95 case. Grrrrr!
