<div>Hi Lucas,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Actually, the maximum positive 32-bit integer is 2147483647 (see an example for calculating that here: <a href="http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t366257-range-of-int-type.html">http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t366257-range-of-int-type.html</a>), and I believe that all numbers are signed regardless of size.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I had to do a lot of date calculation and find mxDateTime to be a wonderful library for calculating dates and elapsed days from a certain date: <a href="http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxBase/mxDateTime/">http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxBase/mxDateTime/</a>. One downside is that this module is based on C libraries, so moving to another platform might require some compiling (Windows binaries are provided).</div>
