Probably. Depends.

"Depends", as some DBAPI modules require mx.DateTime - psycopg, for
example. If you are using a DBAPI module that can utilize the Python
datetime module, you could have your own conversion override the default
date/time conversion in SQLObject.

To do this, create your own load point for SQLObject rather than
importing everything from the module itself.

i.e.

mysqlobject.py:

# a convenient load point for our custom hacked SQLObject
from sqlobject import *
from sqlobject.col import *
from sqlobject.col import SOCol
from sqlobject import constraints

# and hack/define your own Date col type, converters.
... for you to do.. ;-)
