Last example didn't work for, this one works:

python:


import datetime

import time



#fix for datatetime.strptime returns None

class proxydt(datetime.datetime):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

        super(proxydt, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)



    @classmethod

    def strptime(cls, date_string, format):

        return datetime(*(time.strptime(date_string, format)[0:6]))



datetime.datetime = proxydt

from datetime import datetime

P.S. Now - 2019, topic was started in 2011. Hmm.... Awesome

thanks for this. I'm migrating my add-on to Python 3 and with above code I got the following error:

TypeError: object.__init__() takes no arguments

I had to change it to

python:


import datetime

from sys import version_info



class proxydt(datetime.datetime):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

        if version_info < (3,):

            super(proxydt, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)



    def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):

        return super(proxydt, cls).__new__(cls, *args, **kwargs)



    @classmethod

    def strptime(cls, date_string, format):

        import time

        return datetime(*(time.strptime(date_string, format)[0:6]))



datetime.datetime = proxydt

from datetime import datetime

But I have not tested this with Python 2 yet so no guarantees...
