using time.strptime and datetime.date.fromtimestamp is surely the better
alternative, as it lets specify you the format by a string.

I can't imagine what could possibly be easier than subtracting two dates -
in fact, most times one has to jump through much more hoops to achieve
these results, e.g. in java.
