[Zope] Saving a Julian Date solved

[McDonnell, Larry]

Hi,

Thanks Troy, I needed to use Python (int_to_string) to convert the integer
value to string and this is much cleaner.

I know nothing about Julian dates, but I can see that this would be much 
cleaner as a python script:

from DateTime import DateTime

now = DateTime()
j_year = str(now.yy()[1])
j_day = str(now.dayOfYear())
j_date = j_year + j_day

return j_date

Name the script julianDate and call it with

<dtml-var julianDate>

or

<span tal:replace="here/julianDate">3140</span>

Hope that helps.
