Actually, it expects a struct_time, but will work with a tuple. The easiest way to build a struct_time from your string would be using time.strptime(), as suggested by Vlastimil. > <snip> The other problem is one of timezone. I would assume that svn would be expecting all times to be in UTC, so to convert from struct_time in UTC to seconds since epoch, you'd use calendar.timegm() <http://docs.python.org/2/library/calendar.html#calendar.timegm> See the chart on http://docs.python.org/2/library/time -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
