based on what the OP said, there's really nothing that should produce that
that I can think of that would produce the given output! I'd love to see a
screenshot, though. Because it's printing the string twice - not the date.

If it were a problem with the date or gzip you would think you'd get
problems with something unrelated to the string. The only thing I can think
of is if his stack/heap is somehow getting altered from outside python (or
inside, I suppose)

So Mike, can you provide a screenshot of your code/execution? Sending it
directly (at least to me) will prevent it getting delayed while the
attachment is approved.

To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being called

every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and
exaltation, but stupidity hasn’t. - Primo Levi
