Displaying future times

[ryan k]

I have a schedule of times in the future that I want to display in a
timezone the user sets. There is a useful module
http://www.purecode.com/~tsatter/python/README.txt (at that URL) with
a function that takes seconds from the epoch and a time zone and
returns what is basically a datetime object.

My question is how to I display the seconds from the epoch for a
datetime object (which will be a datetime in the future) for the UTC
timezone?

Is this a trick question? Won't the answer be "The same way you would for
a datetime in the past"?


To get the number of seconds from the epoch, see the function timegm() in
the calendar module.

Not a trick question at all... Cheers.
