The function is
def printResult(date1, date2, days1, weeks, days2):
print "\nThe difference between %s and %s is %d days" % (date1.strftime("%m/%d/%Y"),
date2.strftime("%m/%d/%Y"), days1)
print 37 * " ",
print "Or %d weeks and %d days" % (weeks, days2)
print ((len(str(weeks)) + len(str(days2))) + 57) * "="
An example output is:
The difference between 05/06/2008 and 11/04/2008 is 182 days
Or 26 weeks and 0 days
============================================================
Nicely right-justified, but that's not always the case:
The difference between 07/04/1776 and 09/11/2001 is 82248 days
Or 11749 weeks and 5 days
===============================================================
Isn't there an easier way, something built into Python, that would do the job?
Thanks,
