Re: [Zope] Comparing two dates WITH time?

2000-07-05 Thread Nils Jeppe


Hello Gregor,

Thanks for the reply. If I read this bug correctly, though, it means the
time is off by one hour. I checked and all my date/time objects get stored
as gmt+1 (which of course is indeed wrong), however, shouldn't the
comparison of the two variables succeed anyway?


Best wishes,
Nils

 I guess this problem is just an incarnation of the open bug #1204

 bad problems with daylight saving times".
 
 A patch for is available as http://www.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/DateTime.py
 but it is not included in the CVS version.
 
 Essentially, this bug says that DateTime conversions and rendering tends to
 be wrong, when your're in a daylight saving time zone (e.g. 'Sommerzeit').

[Zope] Comparing two dates WITH time?

2000-07-04 Thread Nils Jeppe



Hello All,

I need help again.


How do I compare two dates that include full timestamps?

If I try date_updated = ZopeTime() it works only for dates that do not
include times... as soon as you have a time in the date_updated field,

If the date_updated contains only a date (200/07/04 for example) it works
flawlessly. What am I doing wrong?

(Note that if I set the date_updated to yesterday with a time, it works
also. is this a bug, or what? My logic would tell me that 2000/07/04
12:00:00 GMT+1 is smaller than 2000/07/04 11:59:00 GMT+1).


Please someone tell me what's going on, I am beinning to feel that I am
either asking too stupid questions, or I have problems no-one has any clue
about. I am not sure what'd frighten me more... ;-)


Best wishes,
Nils
