[Jython-users] Time Conflict?

[Mike H. <th...@bi...>]

I'm using an Java API that returns a java.util.Date object and I want to
compare that value with the current time.

According to the JDK 1.3 docs, Date.getTime() returns the number of
miliseconds sence January 1, 1970.  Apparently, time.time() in Jython
does not:

>>> time.time()
1.015358378608E9
>>> float(wItems[0].JobStartDate.getTime())
1.015268088E12

Is this a bug?  What is the epoch that Jython uses? Does anyone have a
work-around?
