[Tutor] date matching with python and sqlite3

I'm trying to allow users to select data from an sqlite database using Python by choosing either a date or a range of dates. I'm stuck at just allowing the to select data that entered the database "today" and return values from a column called duration. I have this mess at the moment: #assume

XP, Python 2.5.1 I installed 3.0 alpha out of curiosity in a separate folder from 2.5.1. Then I found that both 2.5.1's IDLE and my main Python editor Ulipad would no longer open. My first idea was that the installation of 3.0 somehow changed my path. But it didn't. After uninstalling 3.0, and

[Tutor] or synxtax in if statement

I think I want to be lazy and express this if a == b | a = c (if a equal b or a equals c) using if a == b | c it seems to work.. but I'm not sure if it is correct -- and I haven't seen any documentation on using this type of syntax. -- -- David Bear College of Public Programs at Arizona State
