Your statement can be ambiguously parsed as "I need to merely *generate* time specifications that 'at' can parse", or it can be parsed as "I need to generate *and consume* time specifications the same way as 'at' does" If it's the former, it's pretty easy--'at' accepts a wide variety of formats. If it's the latter, I've got a doc in /usr/share/doc/at/timespec on my Debian machine, which seems to be googleable, but here's one copy of it http://fts.ifac.cnr.it/cgi-bin/dwww/usr/share/doc/at/timespec I don't have a parser already, but that should get you a jump start on what (at least Debian's) 'at' parses, and might tie nicely with pyparsing. -tkc
