Yeah, I guess it would, but it doesn't feel like the "right" way to do it. Isn't there a way I can set tm_isdst to "-1"? Or at least slice the time_struct and then add another element to its end when passing it to mktime? Thanks for all your help! --- "D'Arcy J.M. Cain" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Daylight savings time problem

2008-03-26 Thread Fabio Durieux Lopes
Hi, I'm trying to execute some operations based on a file's time. The file's time is actually the file's name (e.g. FILE1_20080326170558). So I do this: fileTimeInSecs = time.mktime(time.strptime(timeString, "%Y%m%d%H%M")) timeString contains the date part of the file's name. Fun
