wx.adv.CalendarCtrl --> .GetDate().GetValue() , Int to long

[moppi79]

Operating system: Windows 10 wxPython version & source: Pypi Python version & source: 4.2.1

Description of the problem:

The Orginal Value from .GetDate().GetValue() is to long, it has milli-Seconds on Python sends OS error

Here is Example:

print (self.calendar_ctrl_1.GetDate().GetValue())

[...]1704927600000

print (datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(self.calendar_ctrl_1.GetDate().GetValue()).strftime('%Y,%m,%d'))

[...]print (datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(self.calendar_ctrl_1.GetDate().GetValue()).strftime('%Y,%m,%d')) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [...]OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

When i short the int it is working:

self.day_stamp = int(str(self.calendar_ctrl_1.GetDate().GetValue())[0:10])
print (self.day_stamp)

[...] 1704927600

print (datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(self.day_stamp).strftime('%Y,%m,%d'))

[...]2024,01,11

GetValue() behaves as intended: "Directly returns the internal representation of wxDateTime object as the number of milliseconds (positive or negative) since the Unix/C epoch."

You can convert from milliseconds to second via x.GetData().GetValue()/1000.0 You can also use GetTicks() to get seconds: https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.2/classwx_date_time.html#a99263946a9a2ece83421411081c02378 Be aware that the valid range of ticks is much less, though. Usually you can't rely on ticks as they are only valid between 1970 and 2038. If your date control allows values outside, use wxDateTime or Python datetime.

Thanks, Dietmar. Yes, this is working as designed as noted by Dietmar.
