Summary: datetime.datetime initialization needs more strict checking

Initial Comment:
Friend of mine wrote following program:
---------------------------------
import datetime
t=datetime.datetime('1995-03-25')
print t.ctime()
---------------------------------
This is obviously wrong code, but instead of reporting
this at second line python crashes on third line (with
ctime).

Info:
Using Python 2.3.2 on Windows 2000
