Hi All. I've got a minor issue with a form which takes a date and returns the string date. I'm wanting the input format to be able to accept any of dd-mm-yy, dd mon year, dd/mm/yyyy. Currently, it works for dd mon year, but it handles other input as mm/dd/yy. (which is kind-of un-natural for those using this form) how should I modify this python script... today=DateTime(input) return today.strftime("%d %B %Y") ... to alert Zope that the incoming string will be always in the order of dd mm yyyy? This is the traceback when the first tuple is not a valid month. <!-- Traceback (innermost last): File D:\Zope\2-3-3\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File D:\Zope\2-3-3\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 187, in publish File D:\Zope\2-3-3\lib\python\Zope\__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: Traversable) File D:\Zope\2-3-3\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 171, in publish File D:\Zope\2-3-3\lib\python\ZPublisher\mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: template) File D:\Zope\2-3-3\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: template) File D:\Zope\2-3-3\lib\python\OFS\DTMLMethod.py, line 189, in __call__ (Object: template) File D:\Zope\2-3-3\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_String.py, line 540, in __call__ (Object: template) File D:\Zope\2-3-3\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_Util.py, line 339, in eval (Object: stringdate(purc_date)) (Info: stringdate) File <string>, line 0, in ?
