Hello I have published a patched version of the DateTime class which now adapt itself to the Central European format (dd/mm) instead of the Anglo-american format mm/dd. Moreover the new class now returns day and month names in the localized form. At this very moment I have published two localized versions, Italian and French, but I plan in future to create a more sophisticated version which will try to guess in which country the system is running in order to return the proper translation. Any suggestion is very welcome. If you are interested in localized version for other languages, please, contact me. I will be glad to provide help. You can find the patched class at http://www.zope.org/Members/spinwing/localized_DateTime I hope you will enjoy it Stefano Vedovelli
