Summary: Date/time functions

Initial Comment:
Currently:
>>> import time
>>> a =
time.localtime(time.mktime((2002,5,1,1,0,0,0,0,-1)))
>>> a
(2002, 5, 1, 1, 0, 0, 2, 121, 1)

And then that is it.  What I would like is to have more
date/time functions.

For example:
>>> date_add((2002, 5, 1, 1, 0, 0, 2, 121, 1),(0, 14,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0))
(2003,7,1,1,0,0,1,182,1)

Would add 14 months to (2002, 5, 1, 1, 0, 0, 2, 121,
1), incrementing the other values as needed.

If could have a date data type, could overload '+',
'-', ...etc.

>>> (2002, 5, 1, 1, 0, 0, 2, 121, 1)+(0, 14, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0)
(2003,7,1,1,0,0,1,182,1)

thanks

Tim (Peters), can we close this now that you've implemented
dates and times for 2.3?

Tim,

You may want to use the mxDateTime module to do what your 
requesting.

For example...

from mx.DateTime import *
print now() + RelativeDateTime(months=+14)

... would return June, 10..etc..
