Something like this modified (and untested) xmlrpclib.DateTime constructor
ought to work:

    try:
        import mx.DateTime
    except ImportError:
        mx = None

    ...

    class DateTime:
        ...
        def __init__(self, value=0):
            fmt = "%Y%m%dT%H:%M:%S"
            if mx is not None and isinstance(value, mx.DateTime.DateTimeType):
                value = value.strftime(fmt)
            else:
                if not isinstance(value, StringType):
                    if not isinstance(value, TupleType):
                        if value == 0:
                            value = time.time()
                        value = time.localtime(value)
                    value = time.strftime(fmt, value)
            self.value = value
        ...
