I found datetimes easier to deal with when I used the modules found here: http://labix.org/python-dateutil As as an example for the first value in you post you can get a datetime as follows: from dateutil.parser import * hittime= parse("2008-12-01 22:02:59") hittime datetime.datetime(2008, 12, 1, 22, 2, 59) nowtime=datetime.datetime.now() I wrote a simple function to extract the seconds from two datetimes: def timeDiff(dt_1,dt_2): """Calculate time difference between two datetimes. """ print 'dt_1 = '+ str(dt_1) print 'dt_2 = '+ str(dt_2) dt_diff = dt_2 - dt_1 days = dt_diff.days print 'Days= '+str(days) seconds = dt_diff.seconds print 'Seconds= '+str(seconds) total_secs = (days * 86400) + seconds return total_secs So: timeclkfunc.timeDiff(hittime,n) dt_1 = 2008-12-01 22:02:59 dt_2 = 2008-12-01 22:32:47.391199 Days= 0 Seconds= 1788 Out[17]: 1788 -- Adrian Klaver [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
