I agree with you Jeff: your version of date2num (and num2date) perfectly does the job. Maybe the 'units' argument should defaults to 'days since 0001-01-01' for backward compatibility. And maybe, as for the DateConverter, the 'unit' argument in axis_info() and convert() should follow the CF conventions (http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-conventions/1.2/cf-conventions.html#time-coordinate) as Jeff's functions, and default_units() should return 'days since 0001-01-01'. > > -Jeff > > -- > Jeffrey S.
