Date Comparison

[mohana2004]

Hi,
I need to compare two dates and find the number of days between those
two dates.This can be done with datetime module in python as below,
but this is not supported in Jython.

example
from datetime import date
a=datetime.date(2009,2,1)
b=datetime.date(2008,10,10)
c= a-b
c.days
114

Is there any other function to do the same(should be supported by
Jython)

Regards,
Monyl

Use the java API of java.util. That methods like before and after on
date-objects.

There are julian day routines in this astronomy package:

Use the java API of java.util.

Or better still, use Joda.

I don't understand your problem.

Jython 2.2.1 on java1.6.0_0
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. 114
