[Zope] on dates

[Cliff Ford]

You could try writing a wee Python script. This one gets the date from 
the query:

for result in context.theQuery():
     print result.theDate.strftime('%H:%M, %a %d %b, %Y')
return printed

Then call the script from the template.

Alternatively, you could pass the date string to the Python script.

Actually, I call a dtml object from a template, and the dtml calls the 
script (because the dtml has some extra HTML layout and the python does 
the date formatting - so the template looks uncomplicated).
