[DB-SIG] WHat's the status of DB modules and datetime.py support?

[Simon Willison]

We're trying to find a Python DB module for Postgres that includes 
native support for 2.3's datetime.py date types - so dates come out of 
the database as datetime objects and datetime objects are converted to 
postgres date times on insert/update transparently.

We haven't found one yet. Is there any movement within the Python DB 
community towards 2.3's datetime.py? It seems like a great way of 
dealing with dates, but the current batch of DB modules all appear to 
use their own convention. Is this something that the DB API standard 
should cover?

Any tips on how to best deal with the transfer of dates from Python to 
Postgres and back again would be welcome.

Thanks,
