In this case it is clearly mx.DateTime.DateTime.

__repr__ and __str__ may produce different representations; so it can
just depend on how the 'representation' is being generated.  If you
really want to know the type of an object: use type(x)

from datetime import datetime
x = datetime.now()
type(x)
<type 'datetime.datetime'>
