I need to compare the "completed_date" from the listSystemEvents method (published at http://www.spacewalkproject.org/documentation/api/1.9/handlers/SystemHandle r.html#listSystems ) to the current time (when my python script runs). The 'completed_date' is returned from the API in ISO8601 format, e.g.: 20131230T23:00:24 I'm grabbing the current timestamp via datetime.datetime.now(), which returns a format like: 2014-02-06 13:05:47.583122 Has anyone got python code that compares two timestamps for use with the spacewalk API? (Ultimately, I want to create a conditional that says, "if the event completed less than X hours ago, do Y") TIA!
