Hi Kevin,

Check the 'datetime' module:

    http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-datetime.html

'datetime' defines a bunch of types, including ones for doing date and
time arithmetic.  For example:

###
>>> from datetime import timedelta
>>> t1 = timedelta(hours=1)
>>> t2 = timedelta(minutes=30)
>>> t1 + t2
datetime.timedelta(0, 5400)
###


Hope this helps!
