    Date issue Win98 vs NT

    Has anyone else had this or a similar problem and is there a workaround?

    This piece of code:

    from time import gmtime, strftime
    _log = _log + "\\" + strftime("%m%d% y", gmtime()) + ".log"

    produces a file with the name 'today's date.log' on NT, but creates a file
    called 'tomorrow's date.log' on Windows 98. I would really like to know
    why this happens. Any help offered is very much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Stan

      Are you by any chance in Austin, Texas?

      I could guess that first you tried this code in Windows NT, and later
      rebooted to Windows 98. Running your code on Windows 98 happened after
      6pm, your local time.

      By that time, I think it is already tomorrow in Greenwich, England
      (which is what gmtime provides). Try localtime instead (assuming your
      timezone is set correctly both in NT and 98).

          Thanks!! You were right on with that one. I've been working on the program
          at home and work. At work with NT and 98 at home. I changed all of the
          gmtime references to localtime and everything came out correct.

          Thanks again....
