Hi. When you subtract an mx DateTime from a Python datetime, you can get
an incorrect result.

Here's an example:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 25 2008, 23:01:45)
[GCC 4.3.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from mx import DateTime
>>> import datetime
>>> import time
>>>
>>> py_dtm1 = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> mx_dtm1 = DateTime.now()
>>> time.sleep(0.1)
>>>
>>> py_dtm2 = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> mx_dtm2 = DateTime.now()
>>>
>>> print mx_dtm1 - mx_dtm2
-00:00:00.10
>>> print py_dtm1 - mx_dtm2
00:00:00.10
>>>

That last print statement should output "-00:00:00.10", not "00:00:00.10"

David.
