Title: Remove dependency on mx.DateTime Status in Gwibber: Fix Committed Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: It is a release goal for Quantal to port all Python related packages on the desktop CD to Python 3. Since Gwibber is one of these, I took a look at some of its dependencies. The most troublesome one is mx.DateTime because upstream has told me they have no plans in the near future to port to Python 3, so it is a blocker. The fix is to convert the uses of mx.DateTime to the builtin datetime module. Probably the trickiest bit of that is the parsing routines since mx.DT has more sophisticated parsers. But we can still parse stuff like ISO 8601 using datetime.strptime(). I have a branch that appears to pass all its tests after converting to datetime and removing the mx dependency. Of course, I'm not positive I'm running the tests correctly. In any case, I'll attach a branch and merge proposal for this work.
