Hello everyone,
Since I am very new to programming, I am struggling with this issue. Please show me how to write current date and how to calculate duration time between today's date and previous date.

Here's a tidbit to get you started: -
# This module has lots of output formating, but date objects do print
-
from datetime import *
-
-
dataOjb = date(MINYEAR, 1, 1)
-
todaysDate = dataOjb.today()
-
print todaysDate
-
-
birthDate = date(1963, 1, 28)
-
-
print todaysDate - birthDate

Hey, Andy. Since this is your first post in the Python forum, I'd like to welcome you and ask: have you given up on C++ for something just as powerfull, but a lot easier to learn? Just ask me and I'll tell you "good choice".
Hi bartonc,
No have not, but this being my first programming course in school, i do not really have a choice. However, I am learning C++ as well. Just wasn't sure how different this language is. So far this seems easier than C++. Thanks for your help.
however, I was looking to see if I can manually input previous date just as we write in real life.

This will get ints for passing to other fuctions: - thedate = raw_input("Enter data as mm/dd/yyyy: ")
-
month, day, year = (int(val) for val in thedate.split('/'))

Hello, I need a good way to have my users enter the date and time
into a form. Could someone please give me some ideas here. What is
the preferrable method for doing this in an asp form page? Should I
use java script to pick the date and time? If so please tell me where
I could find this.
I am looking for a way to make this easy for the user. Thank you.

I have a query with a date field criteria of:
Between And
When the query is run, I am asked for the Start date and then the End
Date. So far, so good.
The records returned are all those in between those dates and not
records that are on the start or the end date.
For example, I enter "09/01/03" for the start date and "09/30/03" for

Hi All,
In access97 I have an unbound textbox with the format property set to
'short date' and an input mask of 99/99. In the after update event of
the textbox I have code; me!textbox = format(me!textbox, "mm/yyyy")
What I'm tring to do is let the user enter the month and two(2) digit
year and then display it back to them as a four(4) digit year. This
works fine up until 2001 then it screws up.

Hi,
Is it possible to make hitting the enter key in an ASP
textbox run the code behind an ASP button on a form?
I have a search page which users tend to type in the
query then just hit enter rather than actually clicking
the search button, but this does not run the search code
behind the button.

I have a PHP web page which uses a HTML form. I would like to enter dates
into the date fields using a JavaScript calendar, similar to the way
phpMyAdmin does. Can anyone recommend a JavaScript that will do this?
Also, how can I add a button to a form to enter a NULL.
Thanks in advance.

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.
