Fixed mx.DateTime or alternative?

[Steve Holden]

Until this is fixed (and the example you quote appears to be permissible
under 2.0, so I suppose it might be considered a buglet) you could get
around it by paraphrasing your test as

    if dt is None:

This removes any attempt to coerce, and so should be faster anyway.
