It's not "the constructor for class 'datetime'" that has that method; rather, the class 'datetime' has that method. (If anything is "the constructor for class 'datetime'", it's the '__new__' method -- or, some might argue, the '__init__' method -- and that doesn't fit what you say above.) > Dates and Times are a bit ugly in Python.
