[Python-Dev] How do you get yesterday from a time object

[Patrick DECAT]

Hi, I believe it's not the appropriate place to ask such questions.
You should check the Python users' list (
http://python.org/community/lists.html )

Anyway, here you go :

now = time.time()
nowTuple = time.localtime(now)
yesterdayTuple = time.localtime(now-60*60*24)

Regards,
Patrick.
