>>> from mx import DateTime
>>> dt = DateTime.DateTimeFrom("21/12/2002")
>>> dt
<DateTime object for '2002-06-25 20:02:00.00' at 819d7f8>

>>> dt
<DateTime object for '2021-08-20 00:00:00.00' at 819d7f8>

   I am not sure I understand the logic. Because of this I always use ISO

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
