[Tutor] datetime module problem

[Dick Moores]

I'm really struggling with the datetime module. Trying for a script that
will calculate the number of days between any two dates, I've come up
with this:
import datetime
date1 = raw_input("Enter date1 as year-month-day: ")
year1, month1, day1 = date1.split('-')
date1 = datetime.date(int(year1), int(month1), int(day1))
date2 = raw_input("Enter date2 as year-month-day: ")
year2, month2, day2 = date2.split('-')
date2 = datetime.date(int(year2), int(month2), int(day2))
print "date2 - date1 is", date2 - date1
Here's one run:
Enter date1 as year-month-day: 2003-4-15
Enter date2 as year-month-day: 2008-4-15
date2 - date1 is 1827 days, 0:00:00
How can I get rid of that "0:00:00"?
And there must be a better way. What is it?
Thanks,
Dick Moores
