Yes, I can confirm that with Glom 1.12. Sorry. It does work with Glom
1.14 at least.

Again, that calculation is wrong anyway.

When Ubuntu Lucid is out in the next few days, I'll check that the
packaged Glom 1.14 works with the correct use of the relativedelta
Python module. I'll then add instructions for it to the wiki and reply
again here.

And I'll think about how to make this much easier in Glom 1.16. It's a
very common requirement.

No, that should not be relevant.
