Here an example where the signum function provides an elegant way to calculate
the Julian date:
def julian_date(YY,MM,DD,HR,Min,Sec,UTcor):
return 367*YY - (7*(YY+((MM+9)/12))/4) + (275*MM/9)+ DD + 1721013.5 +
UTcor/24 - 0.5*sign((100*YY)+MM-190002.5) + 0.5 + HR/24.0 + Min/(60.0*24.0) +
Sec/(3600.0*24.0)

By the way Julian date should be part of the time or datetime module.
