OK. Let me rephrase it. Say we form a consensus on 'the right way'. Are you amenable to some solution which goes back before 1970 and after 2038 going into the standard library?
No problem.
And does your answer change if it involves some compiled code as well?
I'd rather not.
As far as mxDateTime goes, I'd rather not see it in the core distribution. Including the mx stuff in a separate PythonPowerTools distribution would be cool though. For a start in this direction see e.g.: http://startship.skyport.net/~lemburg/PPowerTools-0.2.zip Note that I'll wrap all my mx extensions into a new mx package which will come in several flavours next year. There will no longer be separate packages due to the various naming collisions and to enable intra-mx-package dependencies. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Y2000: 7 days left Business: http://www.lemburg.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
