Dustan, Python has a module called, appropriately, "time". Like most things in Python, it's fairly simple and straightforward to use.
The module is documented here: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html Breifly, though, the format you want is built right into time: >>> import time >>> now = time.localtime() >>> print now (2006, 2, 5, 13, 21, 15, 6, 36, 0) So to get the year, month, and day you would just have to manipulate the values returned by time.gmtime(). - Dave -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
