I think mx.DateTime has some more features, but the main reason was that old Python versions simply did not have the datetime module and that we wanted to keep a compatible datetime format if possible. But since we decided to require Py 2.3 in the next version anyway, I agree it's best to get rid of that. Importing the other way round then wouldn't make sense either, since Py >= 2.3 always has datetime. -- Christoph _______________________________________________ PyGreSQL mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.vex.net/mailman/listinfo/pygresql
