  ...datetime changes: The date class is now properly subclassable. (SF bug #720908) The datetime and datetimetz classes have been collapsed into a single datetime class, and likewise the time and timetz classes into a single time class. Previously, a datetimetz object with tzinfo=None acted exactly like a datetime object, and similarly for timetz. This wasn't enough of a difference to justify distinct classes, and life is simpler now. today() and now() now round system timestamps to the closest m...

• Python 2.4.1 - Release Notes

  ...datetime.date to a datetime.datetime mistakenly compared only the year, month and day. Now it acts like a mixed-type comparison: False for ==, True for !=, and raises TypeError for other comparison operators. Because datetime is a subclass of date, comparing only the base class (date) members can still be done, if that's desired, by forcing using of the appropriate date method; e.g., a_date.__eq__(a_datetime) is true if and only if the year, month and day members of a_date and a_datetime are e...
