How exactly does it not work?? This works for me:

from time import mktime, strptime
from datetime import datetime

datetime_string = '2007-02-01 00:00:00'
datetime_object = datetime.fromtimestamp(
                  mktime(strptime(datetime_string,'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')))

print datetime_object.year
print datetime_object.month
print datetime_object.day
print datetime_object.hour
print datetime_object.minute
print datetime_object.second

HTH,
Dave
