Please be careful to note both the version of
python you are using and the reasons for not using
later version such as 3.1.2 which is recommended
for new projects. I am (sob,sob) trying to work cross
platform between Windows Vista 64 bit, Mac OS X
10.4, & various Ubuntu’s using 3.1.2. It is a real
pain to read through a site such as PyGt only to
realize after two days it doesn’t work with 64 bit
python 3.1.2, only 32 bit.

Your DateTime example is a little confusing as datetime is the built-in Python module and doesn’t allow that syntax.

The intro for DateTime says the following:

DateTime 2.12.0

This package provides a DateTime data type, as known from Zope 2. Unless you need to communicate with Zope 2 APIs, you’re probably better off using Python’s bult-in datetime module.

datetime.strptime(date_string, format) will accomplish the same thing only using the Python built-in module datetime.
