[Zope] How do I test a date to be valid?

[Dragos Chirila]

Why don't you use try .. except ?

python:
try:
    x = DateTime(...)
except:
    x = None

In DTML you have dtml-try .. dtml-except

I was working on that. How do I catch the exception before it becomes an
error? I saw something in the various docs about DateTime.DateTimeError,
but I can't figure out how to implement it.

pass it to DateTime(). It should raise an exception for wrong dates.
