I would prefer a more explicit approach :-) Make Python's "datatime" available in addition to "DateTime" and provide conversion functions between the two. The lots of problems related to "DateTime" show that date handling is difficult. These difficulties make it not unlikely that the proposed emulation will have difficulties, too. -- Dieter
