Title:
  code using datetime.strptime() from datetime crashes client under CentOS/RHEL 5/Python 2.4

Status in OpenObject GTK Client:
  Won't Fix
Status in CentOS:
  New

Bug description:
  Since some 5.0.1+ version, widgets have been using default datetime for doing dates instead of mx.DateTime.

This leads to the following errors, crashing the client and even corrupting the database in some cases: 
 
AttributeError: type object 'datetime.datetime' has no attribute 'strptime'

Looking around in datetime.c it seems Python 2.4 does not have a strptime in datetime.

Either revert to mx.DateTime or drop compatibilty for Python 2.3+ (as referred to in the documentation). The latter would be severely dissapointing due to CentOS/RHEL 5 shipping with only Python 2.4.
