I usually test with the latest Python version but I didn't get
around to testing with Python 2.6 before it was released. As a
result, Python 2.6 got released with a broken ihooks module.

Can you try replacing the ihooks.py module with the one from
. I'm curious if it fixes the
mxDatetime bug. You could replace the module in lib/python2.6 or
just dump it in quixote/ptl.
