find YYYYMMDD and YYYYMMDD difference
 
Hi,
does any body now any such algorith either Java or python implemented? to find difference in days from YYYYMMDD to YYYYMMDD?
Or just an algorithm, that converts YYYYMMDD to seconds since the epoch(either Java or python implemented)?

Thanks

Python has it built-in:
Code:
pu@slackw:~$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May  4 2007, 16:52:23)
[GCC 4.1.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import datetime
>>> a=datetime.datetime(2007,9,22)
>>> b=datetime.datetime(1967,5,19)
>>> a-b
datetime.timedelta(14736)
>>> (a-b).days
14736
