I just checked an older version of python (2.3.4) on my linux server and the 
'from datetime import datetime' command worked just fine, so your 2.3.5 
version should have 'datetime'.  All i can think of is that your python 
installation is pooched.  Can you 'uninstall' python, and then 
download/re-install a fresh version?
