Things to look at:
1) Conversions between floating point and integers. Some DateTime tests
use the current time, and if time.time() returns 1013027600.000999,
different environments with different levels of precision will interpret
that differently.
2) Time zones. It's hard for us to test any zone but US/Eastern. Tests
shouldn't be sensitive to time zones, of course.
Seems like there was something else but it has escaped my memory...
