It doesn't work, somehow. I assume that what Will really means is how does he get the number of days expressed as a number of years/months and days. As in: There are 4 months, 8 days to Xmas. I don't use datetime so don't know whether/how that would be done but it seems like a reasonable request. And if that's not what Will wants can someone tell me because I'm now curious! Its a non trivial conversion and would require knowledge of the context - ie start or end date.
