Do you know the name or structure of the format that you're seeing here? I would assume BRT represents some timezone, but I am not sure. Let me check... http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/brt OK, so yes, that's the Brasilia time zone. You should be able to use the date time libraries to parse the string. https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior The resulting values should be comparable, if I recall correctly. Yes, https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#datetime-objects notes that the datetime objects support comparison. I'm away from a keyboard at the moment, so I can't write an example right now. If you can convince whoever is generating those timestamps to use something like ISO 8601 format, then that might also be nice. Good luck! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
