rstrip error python2.4.3 not in 2.5.1?

[dirkheld]

Hi,

I wrote some python code that retrieves urls from a txt file. In this
code I use .rstrip() for removing the '\n' at the end of every url.
While this code works on my mac (leopard) with python 2.5.1, this same
code fails to work on an ubuntu server with python 2.4.3

I was wondering if there is a problem with .rstrip() in that python
version?

error :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "delgraph.py", line 62, in ?
url_metadata = d.get_url(site.rstrip())

What is the actual error message [SyntaxError, NameError? etc] that you
clipped?

rstrip() works fine in python 2.4.3. May be the problem lies in
somewhere else.

I tried it in FC6 with Python 2.4.3:'abc.com'

Here it is : I tought that I didn't matter because the deliciousapi
worked fine on my mac.

Traceback (most recent call last):

The answer is right there: datetime.datetime has method strptime in
python 2.5 but which was not available in 2.4. A quick look into the
library reference confirms this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
strptime( date_string, format)
Return a datetime corresponding to date_string, parsed according to format.
This is equivalent to datetime(*(time.strptime(date_string, format)[0:6])).
ValueError is raised if the date_string and format can't be parsed by
time.strptime() or if it returns a value which isn't a time tuple.

New in version 2.5.

I suppose it is cruel of me, but I find it hilarious that you looked at
this traceback and came to the conclusion that the problem was in "rstrip".
