The correct way to handle this is to use cal.date.toPyDate(), which helpfully returns a datetime.date object — and make this the default output of the calendar function, because that’s the only useful output for anyone asking for a date. >>> date 'Sat Jan 10 2015' >>> cal.date PyQt4.QtCore.QDate(2015, 1, 10) >>> cal.date.toPyDate() datetime.date(2015, 1, 10) -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
