A module containing an object with the same name as the module is a real 
pain, a constant mental papercut.  I consider datetime.datetime to be a 
design mistake*.  You are the 2nd person in about a month to post the 
same resulting code problem.

* Either the class should have been 'Datetime', capitalized like classes 
in modules other that builtins generally should be, or the module should 
have been given a different name.  I personally would always rename the 
module when imported.
