How do I find the days to a date with 'time()' ? Of course, this is a very noobish question, but as it turns out doing this can be really tough. Can anyone help me?

Here's one way of doing it:[code=Python]>>> import datetime, time
>>> present = datetime.dateti me.now()
>>> future_date = '5/12/2009'
>>> delta = datetime.dateti me(*time.strpti me(future_date, '%m/%d/%Y')[:6])-present
>>> delta.days
364
>>> delta.seconds
40855
>>> [/code]
