Yes, there are patches. There happens to be two entries because I missed some documentation changes the first time around. The links are: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5470&atid=305470&func=detail&aid=876130 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5470&atid=305470&func=detail&aid=986010 The files changed are dist/src/Modules/datetimemodule.c dist/src/Include/datetime.h dist/src/Doc/api/concrete.tex To summarize, an attribute named "datetime_CAPI" is added to the datetime module. A macro PyDateTime_IMPORT is used to access this attribute and then additional macros are available for manipulating datetime instances. If you want to look at an actual implementation you can take a look at cx_Oracle 4.1 beta 1 available at http://starship.python.net/crew/atuining If you have further questions, let me know and I'll try to answer them.

Erm - this particular fix was a bug fix. I'm deeply uncomfortable about adding the C version of datetime to 2.3 at this very late stage of 2.3's life cycle.
It's quite arguably a bugfix, since datetime.h in 2.3.4 exposes things that can't possibly be used outside of datetimemodule.c
Ah - I misunderstood, and thought that 2.3 had no version of datetime.c at all, and Guido was proposing that we add it. So, to get this straight, what _are_ we talking about, exactly? Is there an SF bug/patch with the trunk change?
