That's the question in Subject. For example, the difference between
08/29/2008 and 09/03/2008 is +5. The difference between 02/28/2008 and
03/03/2008 is 4, leap year--extra day in Feb. I'm really only interested in
years between, say, 1990 and 2050. In other words not some really strange
period of time well outside our current era of history.
Does the standard library's datetime module not do what you want?

Yes, it would seem so. This works fine.
It would probably be worth your while to read through one of
introductory Python books or just browse through the Python
tutorial:
http://docs.python.org/tut/
Oddly, Leaning Python has no mention of datetime (not date or time), at
least, that I could find. I'm considering the Nutshell book, 2nd ed., as a
better reference (and cross reference) to various topics.
I was pondering this in pyfdate, but perhaps missed it or it
was not obvious to me in the tutorial for some reason.
Sorry, can't help you there -- I've never heard of pyfdate. The
timedate module that comes with Python has always done what I
needed to do with dates/times.
