Unless it's in your first line (the DateTime import), I don't think it 
has anything to do with that file or the import statement itself, as I 
was able to do it outside of Zope (which is why I had to get rid of the 
first line.)

Perhaps there's something else named validateDate already? What happens 
when you split it into two imports? What about renaming the function?
