when POSTing a date from an mod_python psp page to another the date is sent as a string. I'm using form.has_key to pull the POST. I can cut the string up,turn the strings into integers and then use datetime.datetime(y,m,d,hr,mn,se) to create a proper datetime. Is there a simpler way of doing this. I ask as I'm working with SQL and want to keep as much possible in datetime format to avoid confusion/ errors.
snippet post is; "monday - 01/01/2006" if form.has_key('day'): string_day = form['day'] textday = string_day.split("-",1)[0] pyday = string_day.split("-",1)[1] d,m,y = pyday.split('/',2) d = int(d) m = int(m) y = int(y) today = datetime.datetime(y,m,d) Thanks, Marc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
