Python provides a datetime (also: date, time, timedelta) type. Use it. https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html When working with time zones, the standard library needs a little help. Luckily, there's a module for that. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytz -- Thomas -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
