You might try changing the case... call it DateTime for example; there
must be some magic in the C code (if you work on Windows) that matches
in a case-sensitive way.  Or you can do (in the importing module,
possibly your main program):

import datetime
import vp.datetime
vp.datetime.datetime = datetime
