I'm trying to calculate the difference in seconds between two

date1="Dec-13-09:47:12"
date2="Dec-13-09:47:39"
diff=datetime.date(date2)-datetime.date(date1)
Traceback (most recent call last):

struct_date1=time.strptime(date1, "%b-%d-%H:%M:%S")

thanks in advance

You should post the full code; you omitted your import line(s)
That last approach was closer, try this one:
import datetime
struct_date1=datetime.datetime.strptime(date1, "%b-%d-%H:%M:%S")
struct_date2=datetime.datetime.strptime(date2, "%b-%d-%H:%M:%S")
diff = struct_date2 - struct_date1
print diff
diff is of type datetime.timedelta
