Yes, it does. > what you want is : > > num_weeks = time_diff.days / 7 > or > num_weeks = (time_diff / 7).days Uh, no. Besides the integer division problem in your first line, keep in mind that the .days attribute does not give you the time interval measured in days. It gives you the number of *whole* days in the interval. The first method will be incorrect if time_diff is not an even multiple of 1 day. The latter will be incorrect if time_diff is not an even multiple of 7 days. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
