A module containing an object with the same name as the module is a real pain, a constant mental papercut. I consider datetime.datetime to be a design mistake*. You are the 2nd person in about a month to post the same resulting code problem.
* Either the class should have been 'Datetime', capitalized like classes in modules other that builtins generally should be, or the module should have been given a different name. I personally would always rename the module when imported.
