problem with import in python 2.2.3

[Anthony Irwin]

Hi,

I have written a python script that works perfectly in python 2.4.4
and python 2.4.3 but when I try to use the same script on an older
system with python 2.2.3 I get the following error.

../backup_all_mysql_databases.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./backup_all_mysql_databases.py", line 5, in ?
from datetime import date
ImportError: No module named datetime

Does anyone know why the datetime module is not being found in python
2.2.3 and how I can make the script work in the older version of python?

datetime is included on 2.3 and above.
Try copying the 2.3 version on your 2.2 installation, maybe it Just
Works...

The datetime modules was added in Python 2.3 - that's why you aren't
finding it. This might help - http://tinyurl.com/37677u - but I've not
tried it myself.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replies I ended up rewriting my code to use the
time.strftime() library but unfortunately the MySQLdb module I use
needs python 2.3 or higher so it looks like I have to update python on
the older system anyway.
