I switched to that, but then there is this left over:

         if a==b:


where a and b are literally variables and could both be DateTimes, but one 
of them ends up being None and the exception occurs. Someone suggested I 
could use:

         if str(a)==str(b):

although before I got that suggestion, I just wrapped it with a try: and 
assumed inequality.
