I think it's because doing it right is difficult, and there are several
differing "religions" about what is the right way. You can find
some long discussions in the archives...

I doubt that my datetime.py module fits anyone's notion
of the "right" way to do dates and times. It's just something I
hacked together over time to solve some local needs.

I think that Marc Lemburg has requested that mxDateTime be put
in the python distribution. That's probably the best solution, since
his work is very solid, and since Guido has entrusted other portions
of the distribution to him.
