here's what I replied the last time you asked about RFC 2822 dates:

    the timestamp format you're using is also known as the RFC(2)822 format.
    the "email" package contains several functions to deal with this format:

    >>> x = 1112962934
    >>> from email.Utils import formatdate
    >>> formatdate(x) # default is utc 'Fri, 08 Apr 2005 12:22:14 -0000'
    >>> formatdate(x, localtime=1)
    'Fri, 08 Apr 2005 14:22:14 +0200'

    >>> from email.Utils import parsedate_tz
    >>> parsedate_tz(formatdate(x, localtime=1))
    (2005, 4, 8, 14, 22, 14, 0, 1, 0, 7200)

    for the full story, see:

        http://docs.python.org/lib/module-email.Utils.html

you may want to save copies of questions you've already asked, and
the replies you got, so you can avoid asking the same questions over
and over again.  (yes, this also applies if you're a bot).
