Your code snippet works for me (though I'm just returning html rather than the HttpResponse object, for testing purposes).
Be very sure that the spelling of everything in the file in question is correct and that you aren't, for example, using the name "datetime" for something else between the import and the usage. If you're running in the development server, it is easy to stick in pdb.set_trace() (you'll have to import pdb) just before the offending line, and poke around when you hit the breakpoint to see what datetime really is at that point. If you don't hit the breakpoint, then you're not running with the file you're editing. Be sure that your really said "import datetime" rather than "from datetime import datetime" (which is the way that I typically import it) or that someone else hasn't done that after your import. If you're not running in the development server, then you might replace your "now = ..." and "html = ..." lines with: html = "<html><body>datetime is %r.</body></html>" % datetime which will tell you what datetime is at that point. You will have to restart apache (or perhaps touch your .wsgi script file).
