datestr2num calls dateutil.parser.parse, which by default uses the current date at 00:00:00 for missing fields. The dateutil function also can use a "default" argument to change this bahavoir but it is not available in datestr2num. http://labix.org/python-dateutil#head-a23e8ae0a661d77b89dfb3476f85b26f0b30349c Goyo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
