dateutil and dates before today

I'm using the dateutil module from http://labix.org/python-dateutil.

Am I right in thinking that the rrules module doesn't acknowledge days
before today?

An example of the issue:
rule_temp = rrule(YEARLY,bymonth=1,bymonthday=1)
print rule_temp.between(datetime(2006,12,1),datetime(200 7,1,4),True) [datetime.datetime(2007, 1, 1, 19, 21, 29)] print rule_temp.between(datetime(2005,12,1),datetime(200 6,1,4),True) [] print rule_temp.between(datetime(2005,12,1),datetime(200 7,1,4),True) [datetime.datetime(2007, 1, 1, 19, 21, 29)] print rule_temp.before(datetime.today(),True) None print rule_temp.after(datetime.today(),True)

2007-01-01 19:21:29

Basically, it doesn't seem to acknowledge any dates before today. Is
this right?

Cheers

I'll answer my own post.

If you don't specify dtstart, it defaults to datetime.today().
Therefore, there are no instances before today. Specify dtstart as a
historic date, and it works on any dates after dtstart.

Wish I'd engaged brain before posting.
