date zobject

I need to get a date object in zope in the format 2003/01/26

This below will work in IDLE but strftime won't go in zope
from time import strftime
strftime("%Y/%m/%d")

I'd like for this in zpt but I don't know enough of python:modules
to figure it.

also a script(python) would do.

I need to compare zope time formatted 2003/01/26
using zpt
against a sql table with preinserted data '2003/01/26'

for a schedule type thing where zope date changes the appropriate stuff is displayed.

Thanks;

this zpt works

<span tal:replace="python:here.ZopeTime().strftime('%m/%d/%Y')" />


though I think maybe I want a script(python, perl)

too

cmp zopetime == sql date table, display data from zpt calling this object

and also have the script do some batching so the display can have an <<previous link.
