date format code

[Michael E. <men...@ka...>]

Hey all,

Does anyone have the correct python format pattern for creating 
datetime strings from either mx.DateTime objects or date strings 
('10/10/2003') for OpenLDAP.  i know it's in zulu format but I'm  
wondering if there is any format strings out there that are already 
tested so I don't have to figure it out.
I need to be able to test dates by <= comparison so I need them in the 
correct format.\

I did a cursory search through the python-ldap code and didn't find 
anything.

Thanks
Mike

I'd rather use time.strftime() since I don't know about mx.DateTime objects.

Current time converted to GeneralizedTime string in Zulu time:

import time
time.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%SZ',time.gmtime(time.time()))

Ciao, Michael.
