Very cool - that's definitely handy to know for the output side of things. I was mostly interested in writing a custom widget for handling datetime input, 'cause I can't imagine anyone being studious enough to use the 2008-03-07 12:00:00 format all the time... besides, it's hard to type! I'd much rather allow for users to just be able to type "12pm today". So much to learn, so little time! Jacob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
