Yeah, sorry for forgetting to mention the back end .. I'm using sqlite, so
my datetime objects are being written as strings. That's why I'm using
strftime('%s', ...) to convert them to epoch seconds before doing
arithmetic with them.
I think I understand the mechanism here... except that since this isn't a
real type (there's no data store behind this) is process_bind_param()
useful at all?
For process_result_value() I think I want something like:
def process_result_value(self, value, dialect):
return datetime.timedelta(seconds=value)
... since it's seconds-since-epoch that I'm doing arithmetic with.
Thanks for the pointers! Off to mess around with this and see what I get..
