- Why does the DateIndex value differs so much from the metadata value ?
Because you indexed something else that a DateTime object. The index will then try to convert it to a DateTime object, and in some caseas above this succeeded, and in some cases it didn't. The internal DateIndex integer represenations is not the same as time.time().
Yes, that's right, but I also tried to pass a DateTime() instance and got the following: Python TimeStamp : DateTime.DateTime() DateIndex value : 1073242822 Metadata value : 2003/06/05 12:22:36.673 GMT+2 Is this DateTime index somehow useful (for searching?) in my catalog or should I throw 'em out ? -nico ______________________________________________________________________________ UNICEF bittet um Spenden fur die Kinder im Irak!
