Yes.
using unix timestamps for storage and as the base for all conversions would make things a lot easier!
datetimes are picklable, so if you are going to change how they are stored (which may not be a good idea for backwards compatible reasons), you should use that.
i'll surely change the storage format, when rewriting it! storing year, month, day, hour, minute, second, a unix timestamp and tzinfo is plain odd! so using a datetime instance for storage indeed seems the most obvious thing if we need dates <1900 / >2036. regards, juergen herrmann _______________________________________________________________________
