datetime question

[Îίκος Αλεξόπουλος]

Is there someway to write the following line even better with the
ability to detect daylight saving time by itself so i don't have to
alter the line manually when time changes?

lastvisit = ( datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(hours=2) ).strftime(
'%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' ) # MySQL datetime format

Thanks.

I saw the link and i'm wondering if it can be written in 1-liner.
Don't get me wrong but i had the lastvisit calculated on 1 statement and
i want to retain it this way.

Is it possible?

rurpy? can you help?

It's that global newline shortage again. Just because a few people
get killed in a newline mine they all go on strike...

It's a conspiracy! The government kills a few miners (with their
contrail mind-control stuffo) to push the price of newlines up, then
taxes us to the hilt and claims it's to fund development of artificial
newlines in labs! I tell you, man, those artificial newlines may LOOK
the same, but mark my words, one day they're all gonna rise up and
murder us in their sleep...

Yes, but you have to rewrite all your code in perl to do this.

Please tell me and as a git i will provide you with 2 good pdfs i just
found:

Interesting. Your idea of a "gift" (quite different from a "git",
which is grammatically valid in your usage, though not what you
intended) is to offer something you stole AND which you're already
giving away to anyone who comes to your web site. This is your
incentive to us to write your code for you.

Actually, I think offering people free stolen bile for dummies is a
great business model. Nobody else is trying that!

If you want to offer something tempting, it's most likely going to be
money, and quite a bit of it, as stated in another thread. Plus,
you'll actually have to respect someone's design choices. Good luck on
that.

Why is Web Security for Dummies missing?

Because a Dummy can host a web (all you have to do is invite a spider
into your house and let it do the work), but he won't be able to make
it secure.

Or, more succinctly: Because it isn't.

I only use organic, free-range, fair-traded newlines in my code. Have
you ever seen what happens on those big commercial whitespace farms?
The newlines are kept in justified lines, smashed up against the right
margin so close they can't even move, and forced to eat recycled EBCDIC
punctuation!

Ya know, folks like Nick would have me signing off. Fortunately there are
kill files. But the backscatter he creates I am still forced to read, or
more usually skip.

This list recently has been far more about venting because GG is broken, or
Nicks un-teachability than about real code, by a large margin.

Then one of you frustrated standup comics comes along, and gives me a VBG,
and its suddenly all worth it. Thank You Chris.

Cheers, Gene

Don't just thank me, Grant and Roy were key to it too - and the
whole "there's no shortage of newlines" thing started with Steven
D'Aprano (I think), and it's a ripe field for harvest

But hey. If you're going to have to read backscatter, may as well make
it funny...

And likely not fully gleaned yet. To all of you, thats some of the
better creative writing I've read in my 79 years. ;-)

Precisely.

Nah. I tried to put it off as long as I could, but times arrow, dammit,
only points forward. I might as well get used to it. From that famous
line about death and taxes, taxes will of course outlive me. Being a DM-II,
I of course haven't a shred of warranty left. Just up to pee and check on
that falling satellite, I could fall over walking the 20 feet back to bed,
but I'm going to do it anyway... ;-)

Thanks.

Someone has an idea what to add to this line to automatically adjust
itself if DST happens?
