I've another idea. Date and datetime objects are compared by date. The date object for a given date is always smaller than the datetime for the same day - even for midnight. The date 2007-01-02 is smaller than 2007-01-02 00:00:00 but larger than 2007-01-01 24:00:00. >>> date(2007, 1, 2) < datetime(2007, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0) True >>> date(2007, 1, 2) > datetime(2007, 1, 1, 24, 0, 0) True >>> date(2007, 1, 2) == datetime(2007, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0) False >>> date(2007, 1, 2) in datetime(2007, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0) TypeError(...) >>> datetime(2007, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0) < date(2007, 1, 2) TypeError(...) >>> datetime(2007, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0) > date(2007, 1, 2) TypeError(...) >>> datetime(2007, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0) == date(2007, 1, 2) False >>> datetime(2007, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0) in date(2007, 1, 2) True _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
