What do you really want?
from DateTime import DateTime date1 = DateTime('2001/05/25 20:30:00') date2 = DateTime('2001/05/25 19:00:00') res = date1 - date2 type(res) <type 'float'> hours = res*24 type(hours) <type 'float'> print hours 1.5
Do you want to calculate how many hours there are between two dates? Or how many days (like 'res' above)? If your result is unchanging even though you change the dates, could it be because you're doing some int() roundoff or something so that you loose the accuracy in the hours; like this:
print int(res*24) 1

Hi Gitte,
how about Date1 - Date2 ? :)
Of course they must be DateTime instances, not strings.

That doesn't work .. Well it subtracts something .... but the result is very weird. An example: Date1 = 2001/05/25 20:30:00 Date2 = 2001/05/25 19:00:00
Expected result: 01:30:00 The result I got: 01:00:00
And changing the dates doesn't change the result ... why ???
