You can parse the ISO format using the dateutil module: http://labix.org/python-dateutil >>> from dateutil.parser import parse >>> show_time = parse('2012-09-10T21:00:00-4:00') This produces a time-zone aware datetime object. You can pass its tzinfo to datetime.now() to get the current time as an aware datetime object: >>> now = datetime.now(show_time.tzinfo) Or you could use datetime.now(dateutil.tz.tzutc()) for a UTC tzinfo. It doesn't matter if you're only interested in the timedelta. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
