[Zope] on dates

[Cliff Ford]

Try this in the python script:

return DateTime(str(d)).strftime('%H:%M, %a %d %b, %Y')

It just produces the string representation of object d (to create a 
DateTime object). If d were already a DateTime object you would use:

return d.strftime('%H:%M, %a %d %b, %Y')

By way of comfort: I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to 
work with dates and have a lot of sympathy with anyone going through the 
same process.
