This is basically a wrapper around the standard C time library. Python has a more modern and spiffy datetime module which isn't restrained to 1970-2038, and just handles spiffy date and datetime objects instead of making you deal with awkward conversions between strange numbers and obscure tuples. The old time module does work, but due to e.g. strange assymetries in the module, you have to deal with strange quirks to convert UTC times right... >>> import datetime >>> datetime.datetime.now() datetime.datetime(2006, 2, 5, 23, 1, 45, 569833) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
