Update of /cvs-repository/Zope3/src/datetime/tests
In directory cvs.zope.org:/tmp/cvs-serv24778/src/datetime/tests

Modified Files:
	test_datetime.py 
Log Message:
Commenting out an obscure endcase test that can't be made to work the
same way under the C and Python implementations of datetime without more
work than it's worth.  This has to do with exactly when mixed-type
comparisons, of date or datetime objects, against other kinds of objects
defining __cmp__, will or won't raise TypeError.
