If you can use a single .py file, is there any reason why you wouldn't
be able to use a package (which is really just a directory containing an
__init__.py file and optionally some other files)? Some of the eGenix mx
extensions require compilation, I believe, but others don't. You might
be able to download the eGeneix mx.BASE package as a ZIP file
(http://www.egenix.com/files/python/egenix-mx-base-2.0.4.zip),
uncompress it to a location on your PYTHONPATH, and do "from mx import
DateTime"...
