Well, then since that isn't ISO 8601 format, it would be nice to have a comment explaining why it's claiming to be anyway <0.5 wink>. >> A possible downside is that you'll also get fractional seconds if the >> instance records a non-zero .microseconds value. > There's nothing in the XML-RPC spec about the resolution of time, so, again, > I'd rather be conservative in what we generate. dt.replace(microsecond=0).isoformat() suffices for that much. Tack on .replace('-', '') to do the whole job. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
