OTOH, ticks are pretty ubiquitous. Supplying a constructor that uses them
isn't a big deal; mxDateTime has one, right? Certainly it should not be
the only constructor, but available as an alternative.

I'm agreeable to everything else. I would help on the spelling/grammar but
I will probably be spending this weekend working on a Python intro for the
local ACM chapter that I'm presenting on tuesday.
