FYI, there is an unmaintained pure Python mxDateTime module
egenix-mx-base which you could probably get to work again.
It is called:

mx/DateTime/mxDateTime/mxDateTime_Python.py

To enable it, edit the mx/DateTime/mxDateTime/__init__.py
file. It will probably require a bit of work to get it
up and running again, since it was originally written
for version 1.2 by Drew Csillag.
