datetime.data objects have a __str__() method. To convert one to a string, you just have to cause its __str__() to be invoked. The most common ways of doing that are str(), %s, or print: >>> import datetime >>> d = datetime.date.today() >>> d datetime.date(2005, 5, 14) # this is the repr() of the object >>> print d 2005-05-14 >>> str(d) '2005-05-14' >>> '%s' % d '2005-05-14' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
