I don't know sure what sort of value MySQL returns,

I was wondering that myself. Does MySQL have any sort of Date type?

Actually, it has three date data types: date, time, and datetime (or is it timedate?). I think that the python interface just returns strings though.

There really should be access to the DateTime constructor from DTML. I'll add it to '_', so in the next release you'll be able to:

<!--#var "_.DateTime(v)"-->

Note that the DateTime class is documented in appendix A of the DTML manual.

Yes, I did something like that yesterday. You just need to add one line and modify one line in DT_Util.py to get DateTime functionality in _. Michael Grinder
