I guess it depends > on what you want to do with them after parsing. Sorry, I should have been clearer. I want to parse the date and create a 'date object' that is a part of larger object (I'm parsing a text file that represents the larger object and the date is a part of it). So my question should probably be: is there a better way to parse the date and generate the 'date object' than the two step w = strptime(d,'%Y-%m-%d') datetime.date( w[0], w[1], w[2] ) Since I'm new to many things in Python I'm trying to learn if there is a "better" way of doing things. jem
