Others have already explained why "mDATE.seconds" does not work, but I wanted to touch on this as well. The above fails because "mDATE" is not an attribute of the "datetime.datetime" class, which is to be expected since you've merely defined it as a local variable. If you want to call the "toordinal" method of mDATE, just do this: mDATE.toordinal() or this: datetime.datetime.toordinal(mDATE) But in most cases the first version is preferred. As an aside, your capitalization scheme would drive me insane. I suggest reading PEP 8, the Python style guide, and following the recommendations there. Also, it is not customary in Python to prefix attribute names with the string "m" or "m_" as it is in C++. Because Python does not do implicit attribute lookup, it is always clear from context whether a name refers to an attribute or not, and so the "m" is superfluous.
