Donn, You didn't look closely enough at those results. The OP's point was that he did not know how to set all the tuple values correctly. Here's a clearer example, I think:
import time print time.asctime((2005,9,1,0,0,0,0,0,0)) print time.asctime((2005,9,1,0,0,0,1,0,0)) print time.asctime((2005,9,1,0,0,0,2,0,0)) print time.asctime((2005,9,1,0,0,0,3,0,0)) Prints: Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 2005 Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 2005 Wed Sep 01 00:00:00 2005 Thu Sep 01 00:00:00 2005 No matter what time zone you're in, Sep 1, 2005 can't be all those days of the week! :) Your code works because you use mktime, which appears to ignore the dayOfWeek element of the input tuple, as shown by the following: print time.asctime(time.gmtime(time.mktime((2005,9,1,0,0,0,0,0,0)))) print time.asctime(time.gmtime(time.mktime((2005,9,1,0,0,0,1,0,0)))) print time.asctime(time.gmtime(time.mktime((2005,9,1,0,0,0,2,0,0)))) print time.asctime(time.gmtime(time.mktime((2005,9,1,0,0,0,3,0,0)))) Prints: Thu Sep 01 06:00:00 2005 Thu Sep 01 06:00:00 2005 Thu Sep 01 06:00:00 2005 Thu Sep 01 06:00:00 2005 -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
