Would it make sense to reverse the order?  All newer Python releases
will have a stdlib.datetime.  If mx.DateTime is present, the sysadmin
went to extra effort to put it there.  Can we infer that it's there
because it is preferred?  To me that suggests importing mx.DateTime
first and then falling back on the stdlib.
