Ok, I think I will do that. Otherwise, as soon as an administrator 
installs mx.DateTime, some non-related DB-API 2 applications may 
suddenly break. Of course you will then get a problem if the 
administrator upgrades from Python 2.2 to 2.3, but you expect some 
things to break anyway in such a case (and he should have done that a 
long time ago anyway ;-)

Still, I'm looking for a way to explicitely tell the module to use mx or 
stdlib dates, or other date formats.
