[Zope-Coders] test failures in DateTime

Well, that would be certainly great. I would love to join this discussion, 
since I can make the argument for Python in general as well.

Especially one thing pops into my mind right away. The DB-API 
specifications for Python could finally agree to use mxDateTime for 
handling Dates, Times, Epochs and Deltas. I think an advanced DateTime 
module like this is long overdue in Python. Guido, any comments on that? :-)
Well, actually mxDateTime is the suggested Module (just having checked the 
specs). So I really think it is weird that it is not in the core yet, even 
though that I agree that the "mx" prefix should not apear then. :-)

Mmmh, that adds a totally new dimension to the discussion. Is there any way 
we could discuss that with the other Python people?

Regards,
Stephan

PS: The more I think about it, the better I like this idea. It would 
certainly stop a lot of my pains! :-)
