Hi all,

Download mxDateTime 0.1 from 

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/lleu


README.txt

Introduction

  This product makes easier to use the mxDateTime python module
  from Zope. It allows to use it from Python Products and external
  methods using for example::

    from Products.mxDateTime import DateTime

  It's also accessible from restricted code (DTML methods, Scripts,
  etc..) using the '_' variable, for example::

    <dtml-var "_.mxDateTime.today()">


How it works (read this if youd don't use a Unix like OS!!)

  When the product is initialized for the first time a symlink is
  created to the DateTime directory. If symlinks are not available
  (for example in Windows) you have to copy the whole DateTime
  directory instead.

  To make the module accessible from restricted code it has been
  needed to wrap it so it plays nice with the Zope security machinery.
