Date class?

[Jim Cochrane]

I just checked the python books I have and did a search of the standard
library and was suprised to find that Python has no standard date class.
Does anyone know if there is a good date class available?  I did come
across a module called mxDateTime in a web search that has a DateTime class
and it looks like this may be a defacto standard.  Is that the case?

Concidentally, I just read here that the starship server just died; and
that appears to be the only place where mxDateTime is available.  Does
anyone know of another site that has the mxDateTime package?

Thanks!
