I'm getting `type object 'datetime.datetime' has no attribute 'datetime'`
errors on AppEngine, complaining about the datetime type, but my import is
`import datetime`. There *are* `from datetime import datetime` in *other*
files, but I don't think that should affect this file?
There's no 'accidental' re-imports, I've checked. I've checked my AppEngine
logs, and it only started happening 2 days ago.
I'm using 2.7 runtime.
Here's the line that's causing the error (note that I'm using `import
datetime`, NOT `from datetime import datetime`)
task.due_at = datetime.datetime.strptime(date, '%Y-%m-%d %I:%M%p')

Some debugging
*Note*: `import datetime` is at the top
#1st attempt
import datetime
class MyHandler():
def get(self):
logging.info(datetime) # => "<type 'datetime.datetime'>"
#2nd attempt
import datetime
class MyHandler():
def get(self):
import datetime # explicitly re-import the module
logging.info(datetime) # => "<module 'datetime' (built-in)>"
#3rd attempt
import datetime
class MyHandler():
def get(self):
logging.info(datetime) # => Throws UnboundLocalError: local
variable 'datetime' referenced before assignment
# Is this normal? This is new to me.
import datetime
logging.info(datetime)
#4th attempt
import datetime
logging.info(datetime) # => "<module 'datetime' (built-in)>"
class MyHandler():
def get(self):
logging.info(datetime) # => "<type 'datetime.datetime'>"
Is there a way for a variable to be redefined *outside* the current file or
module? Because I've looked and looked at this file and there's no
redefining at all.
