[sniipe]

Hi!

I am new in Python, so I count for your help. I need to get difference
in months between two dates. How to do it in python? I am substracting
two dates, for example date1 - date2 and I got result in days, how to
change it?

Maybe the datetime and calendar modules may help too, but a simple solutionis
to get your dates in number of months (tm1 and tm2 being struct_time objects
returned by time.localtime/gmtime) :

m1 = tm1.tm_year * 12 + (tm1.tm_mon - 1)
m2 = tm2.tm_year * 12 + (tm2.tm_mon - 1)

then (m1 - m2) gives the difference in months

(see the time modules docs for more infos)

Check the 'datetime' module.

(in general, for any given problem you have a 70% chance that somebody has
written a module for it. Check the standard library, or else PyPI.)
