[Zope-dev] zpopyda problems with typecasting

Timestamp columns do not seem to be converted to DateTime objects in Zope
when used with 2.2.4 and PoPy 1.4.1 and ZPoPyDA 1.0.1. It returns a string
object which will not convert to a DateTime without some help. The string
returned is this '2001-01-24 21:52:19-05' which does not convert because of
the -05 zone at the end. Also note, numerics do not seem to be converted to
floats either (they are returned as strings but _.float() successfully). Am
I just missing something?
