If it *is* then the easiest way is this: <code> import datetime print datetime.date (1901, 1, 1) + datetime.timedelta (hours=3566839) </code> But, as someone pointed out, that puts you somewhere in 2300. Where are you getting the 1901 from (and the hours, for that matter). If it's based, as AD dates are, for example, from 1601, then the calc becomes: <code> import datetime print datetime.date (1601, 1, 1) + datetime.timedelta (hours=3566839) </code> which looks more realistic. But frankly I'm guessing. TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
