There is a Python 2.2 compatible version. Part of the Pythonweb modules (google for it). It has *most* of the functionality. There is also the Dateutil module (although I don't know which version of Python that requires).
There is also my own (now outdated) dateutils module that *might* help with date calculations. (and you did over react to an entirely normal suggestion). Best Regards, Fuzzy http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
