and, if we are stuck with <-intransitivity, what do we do? If back-compatibility allowed, I might suggest defining 'lt' or 'less' rather than '__lt__' so that sort and bisect don't work with DateTimes. Then document that the function is not transitive.
I think it would be better to document what you are supposed to do if you have a list of DateTimes and want to sort them, as a way to get a list of times sorted from the earliest to the latest. Laura
