One thing that always reinforced my notion that issubclass(datetime.datetime, datetime.date) should be False is that the presence of of date and time methods gives me a mental image of delegation, not inheritance. That is, it "feels" like a datetime object is the aggregation of a date object and a time object, not a specialized date object with some added time machinery mixed in.
