Is there a safe and clean way to parse a date/time string into seconds since epoch?
I have a string with date and time in GMT. I can get the correct value using this: #!/usr/bin/env python import os os.environ['TZ'] = 'UTC' import time s = 'Wed, 06 Jul 2005 16:49:38 GMT' seconds = time.mktime(time.strptime(s, '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z')) However, I also need conversions to localtime. Setting TZ to UTC before importing the time module won't let me do this. Changing TZ after importing time has no effect. -- Peter Kleiweg L:NL,af,da,de,en,ia,nds,no,sv,(fr,it) S:NL,de,en,(da,ia) info: http://www.let.rug.nl/~kleiweg/ls.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
