I'm not sure of the format just yet... testing with a string for now (actual date-date might be possible, tbd later), so like '10292012213000' (oct 29, 2012 9:30pm). How would you get that input into a format to compare with dt above? > See http://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html There are a number of constructors for datetime. For example, now = datetime.datetime.now() spec = datetime.strptime(datstring, format) spec = datetime.datetime(year, month, day[, hour[, minute[, second[, microsecond) In each case, you have an optional tz for timezone. Or if possible, use utc versions of these functions to get "greenwich" times. tz is one of the biggest pains, and the quirks vary between operating systems and filesystems. If possible in your environment, use utcnow, utcfromtimestamp, etc. -- DaveA
