It should check leap years ... end days of the month and the like...

A simple option would just be to : - enter date in a string variable - extract components (day, month and year) from this date (supposing a given format) - try to generate a DateTime object with these values. An exception is raised if given values are incorrect... For example (with a date entered in 'd/m/y' format) : from DateTime import DateTime def checkDate (value): d,m,y = value.split('/') test = DateTime ('%s/%s/%s' % (y, m, d)) You can, of course, add several checks to take care of input formats you want to make available... It also depends of your locale settings, and if DateTime can convert directly your input format or not (that's not the case for me with a french locale). Thierry

try: ok_date = context.ZopeTime('2003/13/13') print "Yes, date OK" except: print "No, not OK" return printed
