Python time differences

Question

I have two time objects.

Example

time.struct_time(tm_year=2010, tm_mon=9, tm_mday=24, tm_hour=19, tm_min=13, tm_sec=37, tm_wday=4, tm_yday=267, tm_is         


        

Answer 1

There is another way to find the time difference between any two dates (no better than the previous solution, I guess):

 >>> import datetime
 >>> dt1 = datetime.datetime.strptime("10 Oct 10", "%d %b %y")
 >>> dt2 = datetime.datetime.strptime("15 Oct 10", "%d %b %y")
 >>> (dt2 - dt1).days
 5
 >>> (dt2 - dt1).seconds
 0
 >>>

It will give the difference in days or seconds or combination of that. The type for (dt2 - dt1) is datetime.timedelta. Look in the library for further details.
