Re: Small patch for more date information

Ummm...  I think this is a bit more accurate:

def get_ending(day):
   th_day = {"": "th", "1": "st", "2": "nd", "3": "rd"}
   if day and len(day) == 2 and day[0] == "1":
      return day + "th"

   if day and th_day.has_key(day[-1]):
      return day + th_day[day[-1]]

   return day + "th"

If you wanted, you could have this pre-calculate and then cache all the
possibilities:

endings_cache = {}

for mem in range(1, 31):
   mem = str(mem)
   endings_cache[mem] = get_ending(mem)


Anyhow, I'm not sure this really needs to be in the main base as it's
easily done as a plugin.  If there was a lot of actual call for it (i.e.
multiple people saying, "Yes--I need this.") then maybe we should toss it
in the base.  So far you're the first I know of who's interested in it.

You can model the plugin after the attached one.
