It seems time contains a simple wrapper around the equivalent C functions. There is no C equivalent to timegm() (how do they do it?). The timegm() function is implemented in python using the datetime module. The name sux BTW. It would be nice if there was a time.mkgmtime(), but it would need to be implemented in C. -- Donovan Baarda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://minkirri.apana.org.au/~abo/ _______________________________________________ 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
