Grant: Thanks, this works, and is much shorter. Any further improvements, anyone? def isOld(lastUpdate, runTimeStamp): oneDay = 60 * 60 * 24 lastUpdate = time.mktime(time.strptime(lastUpdate, "%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M")) runTimeStamp = time.mktime(time.strptime(runTimeStamp, "%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M")) return (runTimeStamp - lastUpdate) / oneDay -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
