You might want to look at dateutils, it can do this. It is an add-on module but it is pure Python. http://labix.org/python-dateutil >>> from datetime import *; from dateutil.relativedelta import * >>> firstTime = datetime.now() >>> offset = relativedelta(day = 14, hour = 23, minute = 59, months = -4 ) >>> firstTime+offset datetime.datetime(2005, 6, 14, 23, 59, 4, 209000) Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
