I had shown how datetime can be used in python 2.2
in a previous snippet. Still, it's sometimes too big.
Here's a minimal implementation. It works like both
datetime and stuct_time (as returned by localtime() and gmtime()).

import time class datetime(object): def __init__(self, *argv): self.t = time.struct_time(argv+(0,)*(9-len(argv))) # append to length 9 def __getattr__(self, name): try: i = ['year', 'month', 'day', 'hour', 'minute', 'second', 'weekday'].index(name) return self.t[i] except: return getattr(self.t, name) def __len__(self): return len(self.t) def __getitem__(self, key): return self.t[key] def __repr__(self): return repr(self.t) def now(self=None): return datetime(*time.localtime()) now = staticmethod(now) def strftime(self, fmt="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"): return time.strftime(fmt, self.t)
Here's its usage
# here it works like datetime.datetime() >>> t = datetime.now() >>> t.year, t.month, t.day (2006, 3, 13) >>> t.hour, t.minute, t.second (23, 3, 28) # but also works like localtime() >>> t (2006, 3, 13, 23, 3, 28, 0, 72, -1) >>> t.tm_year, t[0] (2006, 2006) >>> mktime(t) 1142265808.0 # good default for strftime (= ctime) >>> t.strftime() '2006-03-13 23:03:28'
