    This is possible a packaging error which could be addressed with dependencies. I installed straw, tried to run it and got the following

    Can you replicate this? If so, in a terminal run:

    python -c "import datetime; print datetime.__file__; print dir(datetime)"

    (with the quotes).

    I get:

    /usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload/datetime.so
    ['MAXYEAR', 'MINYEAR', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__',
    'date', 'datetime', 'time', 'timedelta', 'tzinfo']

    Demonstating that my python is using the packaged datetime, and that
    there is a member called "date".
