Find oldest/youngest datetime object in a list
问题 I've got a list of datetime objects, and I want to find the oldest or youngest one. Some of these dates might be in the future. from datetime import datetime datetime_list = [ datetime(2009, 10, 12, 10, 10), datetime(2010, 10, 12, 10, 10), datetime(2010, 10, 12, 10, 10), datetime(2011, 10, 12, 10, 10), #future datetime(2012, 10, 12, 10, 10), #future ] What's the most optimal way to do so? I was thinking of comparing datetime.now() to each one of those. 回答1: Oldest: oldest = min(datetimes)
