The Python data types for date and time are in the ‘datetime’ module <URL:http://www.python.org/doc/2.6/library/datetime>. Create a ‘datetime’ object for each value you want, then compare them. To create a ‘datetime’ value from a string, use ‘datetime.strptime’ (new in Python 2.5). -- \ “Holy knit one purl two, Batman!” —Robin | `\ | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
