Why? You can set datetime: class Test(SQLObject): date = DateCol() Test.createTable() t = Test(date=date(2001, 12, 21)) print type(t.date), t.date t.date = date(2002, 1, 1) print type(t.date), t.date Output: 1/Query : CREATE TABLE test ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, date DATE ) 1/QueryR : CREATE TABLE test ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, date DATE ) 2/QueryIns: INSERT INTO test (date) VALUES ('2001-12-21') 2/QueryR : INSERT INTO test (date) VALUES ('2001-12-21') 3/QueryOne: SELECT date FROM test WHERE ((test.id) = (1)) 3/QueryR : SELECT date FROM test WHERE ((test.id) = (1)) <type 'datetime.date'> 2001-12-21 4/Query : UPDATE test SET date = ('2002-01-01') WHERE id = (1) 4/QueryR : UPDATE test SET date = ('2002-01-01') WHERE id = (1) <type 'datetime.date'> 2002-01-01 > In the docs it also says that > it's _usually_ returned as these data types. Does this depend on the used db > and is it predictable The docs is a bit outdated. That part of the docs was written before DateCol got stable validator/converter. Now with the converter the returned value must always be datetime/mxDateTime.
