I want to write a script that Among other things) renames a file based on
it's timestamp.
I can get the date info using
"strftime('%y%m %d',localtime(o s.stat('thefile ')[ST_MTIME])", but this seems
like a long way around the block. Is there a more direct way?

More direct way for what? os.stat() directly returns the time in seconds,
localtime() converts it to a nice tuple with year, month, day, etc., and
strftime() is a handy way to turn that into a string based on various
components.
If you don't want a string, you could of course stop before calling stftime(),
so that would be more direct. If you are certain you only want the year
month and day, you could skip the strftime() call and just do a % formatting
with '%04d%02d%02d' % localtime()[:3], but that's slightly less readable.

No. I just thought there was a function to convert "time in seconds"
directly to "formatted string". Maybe it was some other language.
Thanks,

Hi there,
My problem is the following: When I assign a custom formatted Date & Time to
a Date variable it loses it’s formatting. Ex. 2005-06-07 15:46
now when I assign this to a variable of
type Date or DateTime this becomes 2005/06/07 03:46:00
The same code work flawlessly on various other machines, thus I presume this
is settings related. I know that the Time function in VB.NET reads from the
system time, which you set in...

Everything went fine getting a short date format out of SQL into my

How does one format a date column in a GridView control? I had assumed that
the DataFormat string would do it, but MSDN only shows numeric formatting
codes. Can dates be formatted using that property, or is it done some other
way?
Thanks in advance.

I have a gridview that's being populated from an access db query. The
problem I'm having is that the date/time fields in access that are

Even on the back end of the database where the column properties are, I
have chosen the smallest date/time formats. When the aspx page runs, it

I have an applicatoin that works 100% perfect when running on a machine

the date in the dd/mm/yyyy setting since that is what the computer is

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
