Good catch! Interestingly, on my PC with German local it even produced a different abbreviation (Mrz) for March. > I'm sure there is a way to get the names without having to list them. I found that Python >= 2.4 has this function already in the std lib as email.utils.formatdate. There it is implemented pretty similar to what you're doing, and I think that's the right way to be sure that we comply with the RFC no matter how time.strftime() is implemented. Since Webware 1.0.x aims at compatibility with Py >= 2.0 and the function is used internally, I have fixed that in r7822 by reimplementing dateForEmail similar to the function in the std lib. Let me know if you have any other problems or suggestions. -- Christoph ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list Webware-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
