Works fine for me on a 2004 PowerBook with 10.3.8.

I'm using Python from DarwinPorts for pygtk and am using mx.DateTime 
with it. I don't remember if DarwinPorts had mx.DateTime or if I 
downloaded the source and installed it myself. I suspect it's the 
version mismatch problem mentioned above.

>>> import mx.DateTime
