[Zope] Manipulating Dates in Zope

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

There is also a tedious, but workable solution for Python APIs that need to
use DateTime both in and out of Zope; use hasattr(myDateTimeObject, 'tuple')
to determine if the date time object you are using has a method called
tuple(), which can be used to determine if you are using mxDateTime instead
of Zope's...  And you write code to support both modules...  I had to do
this with some library modules I am using in a project for relational data
access in both Python-based automation utilities and Zope; this approach
seems to work ok...

Of course, this makes you subject to the limitations of Zope's DateTime, but
I think that other than API incompatibility, that isn't as bad as it seems.

AND THE WORLD REJOICED! FINALLY! :-)
