All, I have had a curious idea for awhile, and was wondering the best
way to implement it in Python and if it is even possible. The concept
is this, a file that is actually a folder that contains multiple files
(Like an Archive format). The actual files are really un-important.

When I started learning Python I was pleased to discover Python For
Windows. I probably would have given up if this tool were not available.
Perhaps this is because I had spent many years working with other IDEs
in other languages/applications. (VBA, FoxPro, Advanced Revelation to
name some).

Hello,
Is there a module available for python to convert datetime into an
array of integers. For example, I have date where the first column is
a datetime string (i.e. '2010-10-10 01:10:00') and I would like to
convert that into an array with 5 columns corresponding to the integer
values of Year,M

This should do what you want.
import time
timestring = '2010-10-10 01:10:00'
time_format = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
timestruct = time.strptime(timestring, time_format)
print [x for x in timestruct]
For complex date parsing I would recommend checking out the dateutil.parser

In my humble opinion, I think what is important is to get familiar with python
for now. The free version of Komodo is what I have been using and its been
cool.
