Actually, I did, and on python-dev. strptime did not roundtrip correctly with mktime on Linux. This made my application very unhappy, so I removed all calls to strptime. Right now I don't have a vested interest in shooting holes in the Python strptime, but I can't say I feel any warm fuzzies about it. It seems hard to imagine that others will not run into similar problems, regardless of the lack of specification for exactly how strptime aught to work. -Kevin -- -- Kevin Jacobs The OPAL Group - Enterprise Systems Architect Voice: (216) 986-0710 x 19 E-mail: jacobs@theopalgroup.com Fax: (216) 986-0714 WWW: http://www.theopalgroup.com
