[egenix-users] mx.DateTime bogus warning: "float where int expected"

[Jim Vickroy]

I do not have an explanation, but the statement:

        dt = self.firstdate + self.mm * int(i)

appears to be the source of this warning.  The warning only appears the first
time the statement is executed; thereafter, no warning is issued.
