Ben has given you some good advice on how to tackle the overall issue.

To deal with the dates you will probably want to use the time and/or
datetime modules. They can convert formatted strings into datetime
objects which can be compared to get a timedelta object representing the
difference in days, seconds and microseconds (although the last is not
very reliable and depends on OS acuracy)
