ok, i'll just use the try: except: i was just thinking putting them all in the same if() statemt but apparently it cant be done. Actually it can, but instead of try: i have to create a function: def is_sane_date(date): parts = [int(part) for part in date.split() if part.isdigit()] if len(parts) == 3 and \ 1 <= parts[0] <= 31 and \ 1 <= parts[1] <= 12 and \ 1900 <= parts[2] <= 2100: return True return False if is_sane_date(date): # ... but the try: solution is much more less hassle. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
