DateTime object

[jf]

Hi,

I've a bug in my code and I'm trying de reproduce it.

To trace the bug I print arguments, and it produces this:
{'date': <DateTime '20091020T00:00:00' at 558d128>}

My question is: what is: <DateTime '20091020T00:00:00' at 558d128>?

I use mx.DateTime put if I print it I get:
<mx.DateTime.DateTime object for '2010-10-29 13:13:25.55' at 7f0bb54e1298>

So what kind of object <DateTime> is ?

Thanks.

In this case it is clearly mx.DateTime.DateTime.

__repr__ and __str__ may produce different representations; so it can
just depend on how the 'representation' is being generated. If you
really want to know the type of an object: use type(x)

from datetime import datetime
x = datetime.now()
type(x)
<type 'datetime.datetime'>

Take a look here:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/DateTime/

I always use this package only with Zope (it's an application server)

If you are simply working in python maybe it's better to use datetime object.

Thanks a lot, in fact it is DateTime from xmlrpclib but your post really
helped me to find it.
