mod_python, dates, strings and integers

when POSTing a date from an mod_python psp page to another the date is
sent as a string. I'm using form.has_key to pull the POST. I can cut
the string up,turn the strings into integers and then use
datetime.dateti me(y,m,d,hr,mn, se) to create a proper datetime. Is
there a simpler way of doing this. I ask as I'm working with SQL and
want to keep as much possible in datetime format to avoid confusion/
errors.

snippet

post is; "monday - 01/01/2006"

if form.has_key('d ay'):
string_day = form['day']
textday = string_day.spli t("-",1)[0]
pyday = string_day.spli t("-",1)[1]
d,m,y = pyday.split('/',2)
d = int(d)
m = int(m)
y = int(y)
today = datetime.dateti me(y,m,d)

Thanks, Marc.

I searched google and also read over the ColumnSorterMixin code & examples, but still can not figure out how to to write a user-defined sort routine just for the last column in order to sort that column by date. I still want the sorting of the first four columns to work as expected. How is...

I've got a table with some datetime fields in it. One field (call it field 1) is of the form mm/dd/yyyy and the other two (fields 2 and 3) are in the form of hh:mm:ss:xx where xx is hundreths of a second. I'm getting the difference between field 2 and 3 using (datediff(ms, access_time, release_time )/1000/60.). This seems to work fine. However, in some other cases I'd like to add field 1 to field 2 and

I'm not entirely certain comp.lang.python is the proper newsgroup for mod_python questions, but "comp.lang.python.web" doesn't seem to exist, so... my apologies in advance if this is considered off-topic.

I am writing a web application that is comparable to a content management system used in blogging. I really want to use Python after having done some evaluation coding using Python 2.3.5 with mod_python 3.1.4 running on Apache 2.0 with the Publisher handler. However, I am still very hesitant to settle on Python. All my research brings up the same collection of scant articles and old mailing list messages that reference each other. I am...

....still new to vb.net 2005 I understand the concept of arrays, and have used them in other languages, but was hoping that someone could get me started with something.

Hello folks, 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. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
