And, through the wonders of Python's interactivity, here's a great way
to tell (for types in general, not just DateTime types):
>>> s = "I'm a string"
>>> type(s)
<type 'str'>
>>> t = type(s)
>>> type(t)
<type 'type'>
"Oh," one should realize at this point, "obviously that's not just some
string, because then its type would have been a string."
