It looks like Gustavo Niemeyer's dateutil module will at least do the year/month/day calculation if not the formatting: In [1]: from datetime import date In [2]: from dateutil import relativedelta In [3]: now = date.today() In [9]: rd = relativedelta.relativedelta(now, tafmsd) In [10]: rd Out[10]: relativedelta(years=+13, months=+1, days=+10) http://labix.org/python-dateutil Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
