This is a bug in the Python COM package.  If a COM method takes a DATE 
param with a default value, the makepy generated .py file is invalid.

I have fixed this locally.  Mail me for the new .py files.  Otherwise, 
just remove the invalid default value from the generated .py file and 
always the param.
