from what I can tell, feedparser returns a 9-item UTC time tuple (which is the same thing as GMT, at least for all practical purposes). if it's a standard timestamp you want, you can use calendar.timegm: >>> t = (2004, 1, 1, 19, 48, 21, 3, 1, 0) >>> import calendar >>> calendar.timegm(t) 1072986501 >>> import time, datetime >>> time.asctime(time.gmtime(calendar.timegm(t))) 'Thu Jan 01 19:48:21 2004' >>> datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(calendar.timegm(t)) datetime.datetime(2004, 1, 1, 19, 48, 21) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
