Simple script to calculate days between two dates.
from datetime import *
today = date.today()
past_date = date(1994,2,10)
diff = today - past_date
print "That was %d days ago." % diff.days
I don't understand the need for the asterisk on the first line.

Going through the first twenty exercises once again. It will not become second-nature if I do not build revision into my learning. The trick is to make the revisions enjoyable.

Anthology Recordings is set to issue a collection of recordings from Philadelphia / New Jersey experimental synth group The Nightcrawlers—a trio comprised of brothers Tom and Peter Gulch and Dave Lunt.
Titled The Biophonic Boombox Recordings, the release will be the group's first ever retrospective and features cuts pulled from over 40 cassette tapes that the trio released from 1979 to the early '90s under their Synkronos Music label imprint. These early electronic explorations drew influence from the cosmic minimalism of the Berlin School (Klaus Schulze / Tangerine Dream) and other European pioneers (Cluster / Popul Vuh) and were recorded straight into the mic of a JVC Biphonic Boombox as fully improvised performances.
It's available on the 23rd February from here.

A wonderful little gem that puts me in mind of all those late 80s New-Age albums that appeared on esoteric electronic labels such as IC Innovative Communications and Narada. If you remember those types of albums, you'll feel right at home with this. The EP is available on the Antinote Label. Bleep also have a vinyl release.
